Atlanta parish blesses site of new church

ATLANTA - Metropolitan Constantine of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the U.S.A. visited St. Andrew's Ukrainian Orthodox Parish here and blessed ground on May 21 upon which the congregation's new church is to be built. He also blessed a commemorative brick that will be placed into the edifice's foundation, as well as, a wooden cross erected earlier this year and other church items used for services. Pictured above are the Metropolitan, clergy, church board members and others who attended the blessing and groundbreaking. The community anticipates completion of the church by late summer. Those wishing to contribute may do so by addressing correspondence to: St. Andrew's Ukrainian Orthodox Church for the Greater Atlanta Metropolitan Area, Building Fund, Box 2961, Cumming, GA 30028-2961.
