Churches

There are a number of Churches within Ukrainian Village, with three Ukrainian churches located on one street, most being within a block of each other. St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral was the first of the two Ukrainian Greek catholic churches in the village with Sts. Volodymyr and Olha Ukrainian Catholic Church forming in the 70's after St.Nicholas' parish split in disagreement. St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral represents Eastern European Ukrainian Orthodox Church and typically serves the 4th wave of Ukrainian immigrants who have left Ukraine after the fall of the Soviet Union. Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Cathedral, was the first Eastern European Russian Orthodox church in what was then called the "Slavic Village" and was commissioned by St. John Kochurov and designed by famed architect Louis Sullivan.

Famous quotes containing the word churches:

    I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    Universities are, of course, hostile to geniuses, which seeing and using ways of their own, discredit the routine: as churches and monasteries persecute youthful saints.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The law of God is a law of change, and ... when the Churches set themselves against change as such, they are setting themselves against the law of God.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
