• First off, the Buffalo Mass Mob group (Danielle Huber, Christopher Byrd, Greg Witul and Arthur Kogutowski) thanks you for your continued support in helping make Mass Mobbing such a success.
• This is our 25th Mass Mob! It’s something our group is really excited about achieving. When we started, we had no idea how long Mass Mobbing would go on. As we head to Saint Nicholas on Sunday for our 25th, we hope to continue on as long as we can.

• Attending Sunday’s Mass Mob at Saint Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic church fulfills Sunday obligation for Catholics. Catholics can also receive communion at the church. One note though, communion is distributed on tongue only.
• The essential elements of the public worship of the Catholic Church, in the Sacrifice of the Eucharist and the administration of the sacraments, are the same in all Catholic rites. What is called the “Mass” in  Western Churches is called “Divine Liturgy” in Eastern Churches like the Ukrainian Catholic Church.
  • Here’s a primer on the Divine Liturgy
    • Worship in the Ukrainian Catholic Church is characterized by a great sense of God’s holiness, a reverence for the sacred, a humble dependence on the power and mercy of God and faith in the intercessory power of the Mother of God and all the Saints. There is a strong tradition of congregational singing without instrumentation, with traditional melodies adopted to our liturgical texts. The majority of the Divine Liturgy is said in English, with some responses and prayers said in Ukrainian.
    • The Liturgy consists of three main parts: The Preparation, during which the priest prepares the bread and chalice for Communion; The Liturgy of the Word, which includes particular readings, prayers and a homily; The Liturgy of Sacrifice, the main part of Divine Liturgy when the Creed is recited, the Holy Gifts are Consecrated and Communion is received.

    • There will be a handout at the church either inside the bulletin or as a separate sheet explaining the Divine Liturgy, too.
    • Rev. Marijan Procyk, pastor, will also offer some guidance on Sunday.
• The service starts promptly at 12:00 noon. As always, we suggest that you plan to be at church at least 15 minutes before worship services begin.
• Parking, there is ample street parking on the streets surrounding the church. There is also a lot at School 40 on Oneida Street across from the church. Click here for directions to 308 Fillmore—> 
• We are really looking forward to Mass Mob XXV, please join us Sunday.
