EWTN reported today that Ukrainian Catholic priests are on the front line taking care of soldiers and civilians. The news program interviewed a married Ukrainian American priest who has seven children. He and a member of his parish entered Ukraine to rescue some children.

Very interesting... I remember that about a quarter century ago in the village, where my dear mother came from, the ordinary pastor was from the Ukrainian Catholic Church, and he was also married with children. He said the mass in Theresienfeld in the normal way as usual in Austria, but once I went to Sunday Mass in the Ukrainian church in Vienna's 1st district...

Joe: I have seen a few Eastern Catholic churches in NorCal but never stepped inside one. Did it take long for you to adapt? Bob
