NORTH PORT, Fla. – Board members of St. Andrew’s Ukrainian Religious and Cultural Center (known as Oseredok) and members of the Ukrainian Orthodox community met on October 11 for a luncheon to honor Father Ivan Fatenko and his wife, Anastasia, who are moving to New Jersey.

Father Fatenko has selflessly served the Ukrainian Orthodox community of North Port, Fla., for almost 20 years, and will be remembered as a dedicated spiritual pastor. His wife also was devoted to the Ukrainian community; she organized and prepared the yearly Christmas Eve suppers, Easter luncheons, St. Andrew’s Feast Day dinners, and baked and prepared Ukrainian dishes for many bazaars.
