The clergy and faithful of the Immaculate Conception Ukrainian Catholic Parish in Palatine, Illinois are planning to build a new church. With the blessing of Bishop Richard Seminack and the worldwide Synod of Ukrainian Catholic Bishops, His Beatitude Patriarch Sviatoslav has also designated the parish as a Shrine dedicated to the New Martyrs of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. During a recent Synod of our Bishops, permission was granted to place relics of the New Martyrs in the newly built church for prayer and veneration.
Fathers Mykhailo Kuzma and Yaroslav Mendyuk are tirelessly working to begin and complete construction of a church that will be the pride of an ever-growing parish congregation. There is a great need to replace the old structure with a new one. The old church was built almost 60 years ago and is in need of such extensive repairs that it is wiser to build a new building.
