Youngkin family prays for the Ukrainian people at Ss Joachim and Anna Ukrainian Catholic Church in Front Royal
Parishioners arriving at church on Sunday morning were surprised to find an unannounced guest on February 27, 2022.
Governor Glenn Youngkin and First Lady Suzanne Youngkin arrived unannounced, to pray for the Ukrainian people at Ss Joachim and Anna Ukrainian Catholic Church in Front Royal.
Governor Youngkin’s staff had contacted the parish on Saturday and asked permission to attend and join the church in prayer for the people of Ukraine. He also requested no advanced publicity, which in the words of one parish council member, “indicates authenticity and sincerity. The prayer he offered at the end of our service indicates the same.”
The Governor and First Lady arrived early and attended the entire Divine Liturgy. The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, which is in union with Rome, celebrates the Liturgy written by St. John Chrysostom in the third century. All are welcome to attend Ss. Joachim and Anna, which is located at 1396 Linden Street in Front Royal, www.ssjoachimandanna.org.
