The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish (locally known as "St. Mary's") is a Catholic Church of the Byzantine rite. We are a religious non-profit registered charity. Services are conducted primarily in English on Saturday evenings and in both English and Ukrainian on Sunday mornings. Week-day services are generally in English unless otherwise requested by those who request special intentions.
