The year 1884 was a significant one in Shenandoah and in America, as it marks the founding of the first Eastern Rite Catholic church in the country.
The borough's St. Michael the Archangel Ukrainian Catholic Church celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. The observance will culminate at 2 p.m. Nov. 8 with the celebration of a Hierarchical Divine Liturgy by Metropolitan-Archbishop Stefan Soroka, archbishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia and metropolitan for all Ukrainian Catholics in the United States.

No Hiding Allowed
When You will come to earth in glory, O God, * all things will tremble and the river of fire shall flow before Your judgment seat; * and the books will be opened and all hidden things revealed. * Deliver me, from the unquenchable fire * and make me worthy to stand at your right hand, O righteous Judge.

Wisdom from the Church Fathers
| What toil we must endure, what fatigue, while we are attempting to climb hills and the summits of mountains! What, that we may ascend to heaven! If you consider the promised reward, what you endure is less. Immortality is given to the one who perseveres; everlasting life is offered; the Lord promises His Kingdom. St. Cyprian |
