I recommend St. Joseph The Betrothed on Cumberland. Blue lIne towards O'hare to Cuberland then South. You can't miss it. Its a modern architectual building with Eastern influences. www.stjosephucc.org [ stjosephucc.org] I recmmend the 9:30 becasue it is sung usually by a cantor (yes i know this cantor very very well,:) ) and pretty soon the new choir will start singing (mostly Kyivan melodies and ones of other famous Eastern composers.) Even though its all in Ukrainian, Fr. Pavlo usually does his sermon in both languages. If you want all English, it's, at 11:15. This one is half chanted and half recited. This parish is a nice mix of New Immigrants, Immigrants from after WWII with their families, decendants of the first Ukrainian/Ruthenian Immigrants, and converts. Hope this helps. PS: even in you attend the Ukrainian, the parish has developed it own prayer books with follow simultaniously in both languages, has the phonetic Ukrainian, and explanations of each part of the liturgy in the margins of the pages, so you will not at all be lost.

Thanks, uki! I was wondering about St. Joseph. It's an easy trip from Wilson (the 81 Bus all the way to Cumberland). I'll definitely stop by next weekend.
God bless,
Chris

Chris,
Did you go to St. Joseph's? I'm sure the community is still mourning the loss of Fr. Pavlo, so your visit and encouragement may be what the community needs and they may be what you are looking for.

Michael,
Unfortunately, I still haven't been. I plan to go some time this week. Though I'm deeply saddened to never have had the chance to meet Fr. Pavlo, I really want to visit the parish. I have no doubt that his legacy remains strong there.
God bless,
Chris

Hello "Thepeug," I go to St. Joseph the Betrothed. Are you still attending St. Joseph's? Always looking for new people to "fellowship" with. I've actually submitted my paperwork for a canonical change of Church from Latin to UGCC.

I would have recommended that based upon the YouTube videos I've watched from their Pontifical Divine Liturgy. That may be the most obvious choice of Byzantine Church in the "Windy City." ...and yes, I know about the half-chanted, half-recited English Divine Liturgies for sure. St. Josaphat Cathedral here in Parma has those all the time. What happened to the days when the English DLs in the UGCC were ALL chanted/sung, and when they were using incense? Jeez, seems like the UGCC has certainly went more "Latinized" than they used to be. *Sigh*

Fr. Mykola is a wonderful priest and the choir does an excellent job. Don't let the exterior fool you...(the "missile silo")

Well, looking through the Eparchy of Parma's (Ruthenian) website, which does cover almost the whole Midwest of the country, here are listings for your area: http://www.parma.org/Parishes_Ill_HomerGlen.aspConsidering that's the parish that Fr. Tom Loya has in that area, not sure how far Homer Glen is from you, it should be interesting, and very good for you to attend some DLs there.
