History: The Priests of St. Michael’s parish

St. Michael UOC separated from the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in 1926, was incorporated as “St. Michael Ukrainian Orthodox Church” in 1928, and official joined the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (the UAOC, a predecessor of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA) in 1929.  However, we date our affiliation with the UOC-USA/UAOC from 1926 as that is when its priests began to serve the parish.

Note: the year listed is when the priest was assigned/attached to the parish.
