TWO LOCATIONS: 34 WBM april 2014 Made of brick, the sanctuary has the distinct, recognizable Orthodox gold onion dome, an Eastern cross, stained-glass windows and a bell tower. Parishioners say the church was built in a traditional oblong shape to resemble a ship. The builders believed that stormy passages of life could be safely crossed through the church and salvation was gained at journey’s end — just as a ship arrives safely to port. The early church was primitive with no power or indoor plumbing. Congregants later installed electricity. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church was the Ukrainian exarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church and received autonomy in 1990. Parishioners worshiped under the pastorate of Father John Boruch of New York. The DeBaylo’s eldest daughter, Ann Mizerak (Muh-zur-ik), now 85 years old, says her life has always revolved around Sts. Peter and Paul. She and her family kept to them-selves as their religious and cultural customs were different from other immigrants and her American class-mates. Although they spoke Ukrainian at home, Mizerak learned English at school. She would then come home and teach what she had learned to her parents and two sisters. The church preserved their Ukrainian customs and heritage, and served as a place of education. Most of the ser-vices were spoken in Ukrainian until the mid-1970s. “The priest taught us how to read and write the Ukrainian language. He also wanted us to become acquainted with our cultural heritage through customs, songs, dance and crafts. We made pysanky eggs at Easter. Pysanky means ‘to write’ and is a 2,000-year-old custom of decorating eggs with wax and dye,” she says. They also celebrated Christmas on January 7 according to the Gregorian calendar.
