Besides the health benefits of the red beet cited in the article, borscht tastes great.
Смачного!

On Sunday, May 23, 2010, newly ordained Father Paul J. Makar celebrated his first Divine Liturgy here in Perth Amboy at 12 noon. Former pastor, retired Archbishop Stephen Sulyk along with guest priests took part in the Divine Liturgy. The church was filled with over 340 people as relatives, friends, guests, and parishioners gathered to celebrate in this special occasion. Inside the church, extra chairs were set up behind the pews in back, and still many people were standing. At the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy, Father Paul gave his blessing to everyone in attendance.
After the Divine liturgy a banquet with approximately 320 guests was held in Father Paul's honor at the parish school's hall. Buffet dishes included pork loin, BBQ chicken, broiled salmon, salmon florentine, pyrohy/varenyky (kapusta and potato), holubchi, roasted potato's, mixed vegetables, fresh kapusta salad, and homemade desserts. All of the dishes were homemade by the parish's Zabava Committee. A short musical performance was done by the parish school Chimetteers.
The Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary parish offers our joyous wishes to Father Paul J. Makar!

St. George Ukrainian Catholic Church, located on 7th Street in the East Village neighborhood in Manhattan, has a new neighbor. Cooper Union college has built its modernistic, state-of-the-art New Academic Building on the once-vacant lot across Taras Shevchenko Place.
The photo shows the new Cooper Union building with Saint George Church, large itself, dwarfed to its side.
Love it or hate it, it's their new neighbor.

We came across a neat blog on the Ukrainian Museum in Manhattan.
The museum is located in the old Ukrainian neighborhood at 222 East 6th Street. That's around the corner from St. George's Ukrainian Church and the Surma Ukrainian Shop. It is also close to the Veselka Restaurant and Stage Diner on 2nd Avenue, both of which serve great Ukrainian food.
The museum's impressive new building was opened in 2005.
If you haven't been there yet, it's worth a trip the next time you are in Manhattan, or if you attend the 7th Street Festival held one block over every May.
