A triumph to cherish

There's more. Interviews with significant individuals were conducted by Mr. Chornodolsky. Nadia Evanowicz Schiable, one of the oldest continuous parishioners of St. Michael's, recalled her childhood memories of "going to church with my parents and grandparents." She also sadly remembered the "families that leftour church over trite matters and in anger," concluding, "We may all be different, but we must stay with our church and community." Nor is Ukrainian organizational life neglected. Early photos of the Baltimore chapters of various national Ukrainian organizations such as the Ukrainian National Women's League of America, Organization for the Defense of Four Freedoms for Ukraine, Ukrainian Catholic Youth League and the Ukrainian Youth League of North America are all part of this book. A unique 1946 group photo of some 50 surviving St. Michael's World War II veterans is featured on page 160.
