Special Event: Holodomor Mobile Classroom Visiting St. Joseph's on Nov 15
St. Joseph’s Ukrainian Catholic Church is pleased to welcome the Holodomor National Awareness Tour to our parish parking lot on Sunday, November 15, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
The centerpiece of this tour is the Holodomor Mobile Classroom (HMC)—a custom, state-of-the-art coach bus transformed into an immersive digital environment. Using cutting-edge educational technology, video displays, and unique interactive modules, the HMC teaches the history of the 1932–1933 Holodomor, the forced famine-genocide in Ukraine engineered by the Soviet regime.
The exhibit's core mission is summed up in its slogan: "Educating, Engaging, and Empowering Youth to Counter Hate." Visitors will discover how the lessons of this historical tragedy apply to modern struggles for human rights, personal freedoms, and democratic values.
