The Shrine Library opened in 1983 as an updated expansion of the previous parish library.  A bookstore was soon added to fund the acquisition of new titles, especially in the areas of Ukrainian culture, history and religious life. 

Since its start, the Shrine Library has put thousands of books into the hands of parishioners and visitors through loans and sales. When visiting the Shrine, please come in and see our fine selection of the latest publications in Ukrainian and English.

  • Hours of Operation: Sunday, 10:30 am – 12:30 pm. (Other hours by appointment) Book donations for 2009: by arrangement only during June, July and August.
  • The Shrine Library was first organized in 1973 through the initiative of the Marian Sodality (Mariyska Druzyna). After the completion of the first phase of the Shrine Center, the collection was transferred to the new building, and the Library was re-opened in 1983. A bookstore was soon added to fund the acquisition of new titles, especially in the areas of Ukrainian culture, history and religious life. In 1995 the Library underwent a partial renovation to replace some of the metal shelving with adjustable wooden bookcases. The final phase of the renovation was completed in 2007, providing a welcoming and congenial place in which to browse, borrow, buy, discuss and order books.
  • Every year, the Library offers a large variety of new and used books for sale at the Shrine’s Christmas Bazaar. The annual Pysanka Workshop for beginners and advanced students takes place on the Sunday preceding Palm Sunday (see further down for information about 2009 Workshop).
  • In addition, the Library sponsors or helps support various educational and cultural events, including talks, lectures and exhibits.
  • Since its inception, the UCNS Library has put thousands of books into the hands of parishioners and visitors through loans and sales. When visiting the Shrine, please come in and see our fine selection of the latest publications in Ukrainian and English.
