What an incredible day it was on March 9, 2025, as our community gathered at the Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Assumption of the BVM for an afternoon filled with music, poetry, culture, and solidarity.

Our parish choir, “Boyan,” under the direction of Mrs. Alla Korostil, presented a beautiful concert of poetry and songs to commemorate the life of Ukraine’s most well-known poet, Taras Shevchenko. With the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine, Shevchenko’s words have become a symbol of the struggle of many generations of Ukrainians for freedom and independence.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all the performers who shared their passion and talent in honoring the great Ukrainian poet, artist, and symbol of Ukrainian independence.
