Welcome to the Chapel of St Andrew the Apostle of Ukraine! Located on the middle floor - west side of the building, this chapel has served residents of Sheptytsky Institute from the very early years.
Divine Liturgies of the Eastern Rite Byzantine tradition, are celebrated here throughout the academic year. Services provide an opportunity for students and other faithful to fulfill their Sunday obligation. The decorative style and festal icons, including an original icon behind the altar written by T. Baran, and two others written by T.Zinkowski, can be an educational experience. Visitors are always welcome to participate and worship with us.
To offer intentions, please send the necessary information by mail or e-mail (sheps@sheps.ca). Please supply the following: Name of the person(s) for whom the Liturgy will be offered; Intentions; Offered by; and any other comments you wish to include.
Donations towards the Chapel are always appreciated.
