A beautiful one was found on www.istock.net [istock.net] but the shipping cost is over $1500.00 from Europe to Florida, and we cannot afford that. This is the font style our parish would like to have: [Linked Image] Does anyone have any suggestions? We have limited funds. Thank you. In Christ, Michael

Why not just phone the priest of the closest Ukrainian Catholic Church & see if he has any contacts in Ukraine for you. Also phone here and ask where Deancon Politaiko buys his products in Ukraine: Quote Consistory Church Goods Store 9 St. John's Avenue Winnipeg, MB Canada R2W 1G8 1-800-804-6040 churchgoods@uocc.ca

I will be meeting our local UGCC priest next week. Dear Father Elias, I will follow up with you via a PM. Christ's blessings to all on this forum! In Christ, Michael
