Welcome Father Yaroslav Koval! We have a new assistant Ukrainian Catholic priest in our area all the way from Rome! Our Bishop John has brought him here to help with not only our 3 parishes of St. John the Baptist, St. Demetrius & Sts. Peter&Paul, but also at St. George (Northside), St. John the Baptist (Southside), and Immaculate Conception in Barnesboro. Father Yaroslav has studied at St. Josaphat Ukrainian Papal College for 7 years, and was ordained a priest this past June. He is married with a yong family, and is eager to learn more about us as Pittsburghers. Let us welcome him and offer our prayers for his spiritual success!
