I take it that this is a Ukrainian-Greek Catholic Church, no?

Didn't the icon screen come from the original Back-of-the-Yards temple?

Yes, this is a Ukrainian Catholic Church, that was originally located in the Back of the Yards area of Chicago. The iconastasis, most of the stained glass windows, and the crucifix in the vestibule, are from the original church.
Our priests are Father Basil Salkovski and Father Demetrius Wysochansky, the author.

Beautiful! Kudos to the priest and parishioners who sought to use the items from their old church in the new one!

One thing I noticed, not common in Slavic Churches but common in Greek Churches, is an icon depicting God the Father in the Holy of Holies.

Unfortunately I didn't get any shots of the beautiful stained glass windows we have. They're quite impressive to see on a sunny morning.
