Welcome to the website of St. Volodymyr the Great Ukrainian Catholic Church, Utica, NY. Here you'll find information regarding our church, its history, and upcoming events. Please feel free to also visit our Facebook site available through the link on the bottom of this page where you'll find up to date information about church events.

Summer is slowly coming to an end and it's time to get back to work preparing for our busy Fall fundraising activities. We hope you've all had a wonderful, safe summer. We look forward to seeing all of our friends, be it volunteer, patron or donor in the near future.

On August 24th, members of the Ukrainian community assembled at Utica City Hall where Mayor Robert Palmieri read a proclamation commemorating Ukrainian Independence Day and the Ukrainian flag was raised to the stirring words of the Ukrainian National Anthem. Church trustee Zyn Jackiw told the crowd of the importance of the event and how it relates to what is happening in Ukraine.

It's time to start making pierogi again. Starting Thursday September 7th and every Thursday until Christmas our parishioners and wonderful volunteers will gather at the church hall at 4 pm to make delicious pierogi for our weekly sales as well as in preparation for our yearly festival. Please if you have the time, come and help. As always, after we're done,  enjoy some of the fruits of your labor as our thanks for your help.

Pierogi and cabbage roll sales start Friday September 8, and continue every Friday until Christmas, starting at 10 am in the church hall. To order online it's as easy as tapping the link on this page. Orders can also be made by leaving a telephone message at (315)-223-1508. Proceeds from all sales help those in Ukraine affected by the war.

Our yearly church festival returns on Friday and Saturday October 20 and 21, 2023 from noon to 9 pm. Mark your calendar and come join us for wonderful authentic homemade Ukrainian food, music, entertainment and vendors selling Ukrainian items. Try some Ukrainian beer and most of all have fun. We look forward to seeing you there. Again all proceeds go to help those affected by the war in Ukraine.

We continue to collect monetary donations to be used to help those affected by the unnecessary war inflicted upon Ukraine by the Russian government. For those who wish to make a monetary donation to help those in need in Ukraine through our church, we will accept cash or checks made out to "Ukrainian Catholic Church". Please send checks to:
        St. Volodymyr Church
        296 Genesee St
        Utica, NY 13502
If you are unable to help monetarily, please hold Ukraine in your prayers and ask the Lord God Almighty to deliver Ukraine from the clutches of this evil nation.

May the grace of Jesus Christ be upon all of you and bring prosperity, love, good health and joy to us all. And may God bless and protect Ukraine and help it overcome the evil that has invaded it and return peace and prosperity to the land.

Join us in worship. Daily mass times can be found on the bulletin page accessible in the link above. Our Sunday liturgies continue with a Ukrainian high mass at 10 am and in English at 11:30 am.

God bless all of you and once again thank you for your support of Ukraine and our church. We look forward to seeing you all soon. Glory to Ukraine, Glory to the Heroes.
