When Russia first began its invasion of Ukraine, Father Ihor Hohosha said he felt frozen.
“I couldn’t see, do, anything,” Hohosha said. “It was a lot of pain.”
Hohosha, who serves both St. George’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Brighton Heights, as well as St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church in McKees Rocks, is a native Ukrainian. Originally from Lviv, in western Ukraine, Hohosha has been in the United States for 15 years but still has family in his home country.

Friday pierogis are a big deal around here, especially during Lent. They are getting harder to get anymore with the older lady pierogi pinchers passing and a lack of new volunteer pinchers. Our local Ukranian church was recently not able to make them because of a main water break in our town. Old infrastructure and a hard to get part. They should be up and running next week. When I go get some next week, I will also write a check for the refugees.
