PALATINE, Ill. – The day had finally come for parishioners at Immaculate Conception Ukrainian Catholic Church. After working for several years to raise money and make plans, church and community leaders broke ground on July 7 for a new, expanded church that will open in 2020.
It will serve as a parish church but is also designated the Eparchial Shrine of the New Martyrs of Ukraine for the St. Nicholas Eparchy.
