Ukrainian Catholic Church, Front Royal

There was a notice in a local newspaper inviting people to services at the Ukrainian Catholic Church. I noted the address and stopped by to take a photo. I was expecting a fancier building.

Inspired Sunday / Shadow Shot Sunday

This church is named for the legendary parents of Mary, mother of Jesus. (I did not recognize the names until I looked up Joachim just now.) 

I wanted to post a picture of this church in honor of the people of Ukraine, who are struggling at this time. 

Not far from the church I saw a small lake.

The message in Daily Word for tomorrow is on Peace.

  2. The people of Ukraine must look askance at the United States right now when they see a former president, many republicans and some news outlets openly supporting Putin, a Russian megalomaniac.
