Faith & Sacraments
The Holy Mysteries (Sacraments) are the foundation of our Catholic faith, drawing us closer to Christ and His Church. Through them, we receive God's grace and grow in holiness. Our faith is a journey of growing closer to God through prayer, learning, and the sacraments. Whether you are preparing for a sacrament, returning to the Church, or seeking to deepen your understanding, we invite you to explore their beauty and significance in the Ukrainian Catholic tradition.
Prayers
Prayer is at the heart of our faith - it is how we grow in communion with God, seek His guidance, and find peace in His presence. Whether you are looking for traditional Catholic prayers, personal devotions, or ways to deepen your prayer life, we are here to help. Explore prayers for every need, from reflections to special intentions. Join us in praying as a community and drawing closer to Christ.
