The St. Andrew Ukrainian Orthodox parish was founded in 1949, shortly after
World War II, when immigrants who fled Communist Ukraine began arriving in
the United States. Services for the 65 families were held in various rented
premises in Washington, DC, until a building was purchased on 16th Street
and converted into a church. In 1986 several acres of land wer purchased in
Silver Spring, Maryland, and construction of a church in the classical Kozak
Baroque style began, designed by architect M. Nimtsev. That same year news
of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster reached the world, and the parish was
moved to dedicate their church building to the memory of all those who
perished in that disaster. The victims of Chernobyl are unfailingly
commemorated at every Divine Liturgy.The church building was completed in
1987 and was consecrated on April 24, 1988 – a thousand years after
Rus’-Ukraine became a Christian State. The patron saint of the church is St.
Andrew The First-Called, and a mosaic commemorating his prophesy on the
hills of Kyiv was installed on the frontal exterior wall of the church
building. The church is a cathedral, and the Eparchial Bishop is His
Eminence Archbishop Antony, Archbishop of Washington and New York who
resides at the Metropolia Center in S. Bound Brook, NJ. The parish Pastor is
Fr. Volodymyr Steliac who responds to the spiritual needs of the parish
since 2001. He is assisted by Fr. Hryhorij Podhurec (retired) and Rev.
Protodeacon Sviatoslav Nowytski. Council President is Prof. Valentine
Zabijaka who is assisted by wonderful council members.
