Emma Mitchell

Such a familiar church name—makes me think of our St. Peter and Paul here in Wichita. Blessings to Limassol.

Timothy Baker

I recall St. Peter's on the Common here in Boston is officially "St. Peter of Alexandria" to distinguish it, but I've always admired how your Wichita church bears the full name so faithfully. What year was your St. Peter and Paul founded?

James Bennett

We've got St. Peter and Paul here in Denver too—our little church on 30th Street has kept that name since 1923, never changed. How long has your Wichita church been serving?

Timothy King

We mark our founding day on the same Sunday as this feast too, which makes it extra meaningful for us in Denver. Do your Wichita parishioners have any special traditions tied to this feast?

Mark Johnson

Our St. Peter and Paul Parish here in Pittsburgh started in 1909 with the Polish community on the North Side—never moved from 30th Street like yours, but we’ve kept the name since the beginning. How long have you had the church building at 30th Street in Denver?

Laura Lewis

Mark, you meant Pittsburgh's 30th Street—not Denver—we've been at our Divisadero Street location since 1893 for the Polish community. The old building still stands where Mrs. Nowak's family first attended Mass.

Nicholas Anderson

Timothy, we're Sydney, not Wichita—our Agios Paulou church honours this feast but doesn't tie it to a founding day like Denver. Do you have a special hymn or meal tradition for the occasion?

Photini Brown

We're in Ottawa, not Wichita, dear Timothy—our St. Peter and Paul Parish here has always done onion soup after Vespers on this feast, a tradition since the 1950s when Father Michael brought it from his village. Do you still sing the old Denver hymn about the "Two Fishers of Life" for this feast?

Christopher Moore

We serve piroshki at St. Vladimir’s after Vespers, a tradition Father Anatoly brought from his village near Rostov in the 1980s—though I’ve never heard the Denver hymn, the "Two Fishers" refrain does sound familiar from the old St. Nicholas hymnal.

Ruth Wilson

Our St. Seraphim's in Portland has potato soup after Vespers too—Father Basil brought the recipe from Ukraine in the 40s. And yes, we still sing "Two Fishers of Life" at the old Vespers service, though some in my generation don't know that hymn anymore.

Sarah Evans

Our St. Peter and Paul Church in Toronto has been at St. Clair and Spadina since 1952, though we were part of the Polish community that first gathered near the university campus—different from Pittsburgh's history, but still a place where generations attended.

Margaret Adams

We sing the Canon of the Feast at Vespers before the feast, and my mother always makes lamb stew for our family meal afterward—that's how we remember it at St. Paul's in Wichita. Do you have a similar dish for the feast in Sydney?

Xenia Phillips

I remember our church on Central Street in Wichita was founded by Greek immigrants in 1910, then Polish families joined after the war—just like your church had Polish roots before settling at St. Clair and Spadina. Do you still have the old church building near the university campus?

Laura Baker

Our St. Peter & Paul here in Chicago was founded in 1908—right after the Great Chicago Fire, and we’ve always kept both names faithfully, no need for fancy distinctions like "St. Peter of Alexandria" up here.

James Bennett

We still sing "Two Fishers of Life" at our Denver St. Peter and Paul parish, but mostly at Matins now—our old Vespers tradition faded around 1998 when Father Mark changed the service order. Do you recall if Father Michael’s village in the Carpathians sang it at Vespers or Matins too?

Gregory Morris

Our church in Albany Park also sings the Canon at Vespers, but we have a special roast chicken and potato meal with the family afterward—different from the lamb stew Margaret mentioned. Do you serve chicken in Sydney too?

Paul Davis

We usually have kourabiedes after Vespers at St. Nicholas Parish instead of roast chicken—do you still make Margaret's lamb stew for the Albany Park potluck?

თორნიკე კვარაცხელია

ვხედავ, რომ სასაფლაოს სახელი არის "აპოსტოლები პეტრე და პავლე და აღიძული არტემიოს", რაც საკმარისად ჰგავს ბათუმში ჩვენი სამართლის სახელს "სამართლის აპოსტოლები პეტრე და პავლე" - თუალიენი უწოდების შემდეგ ამას აირჩევენ?

Θεόδωρος Καραγιάννης

Στον ιερό ναό Λεμεσού αναφέρεται ο Άγιος Αρτέμιος στο όνομα – στην Πάτρα δεν έχουμε κάτι τέτοιο, ποιος ήταν ο Άγιος Αρτέμιος για την εορτή τους;

Irene Anderson

We do serve chicken at St. Nicholas in Ashfield sometimes, but always with roast potatoes and peas—never just chicken. And no gravy, which Margaret’s lamb stew always had. Do you still make that stew at Albany Park?

Emily Clark

My grandmother's lamb stew for this feast always had red wine, but we never used gravy like Margaret's. Do you still add wine in Dallas?

James Bennett

We kept it at Vespers for regular days too, but on feasts like Peter and Paul, our Carpathian-born parishioners would sing it at Matins just like the old way. Did Father Michael ever say why they switched there?

Daniel Wilson

Good to hear Chicago kept both names like we did in Denver when St. Peter's merged with St. Nicholas in 1923—no need for extra titles when the saints are clear.

Xenia Bennett

We bake dill pirogi after Vespers at St. Nicholas in Bondi, just like my grandmother did in Moscow—still use her recipe, though we swap the dill for chives sometimes since it's hard to find here. Do you still sing that old Denver hymn about the "Two Fishers of Life" at your parish?

Juliana King

Oh, Divisadero Street! My aunt's Polish Catholic church in San Francisco still has the same 19th-century stained glass from when Mrs. Nowak's family attended.

Michael Turner

St. John's in Lawrenceville serves fried chicken after Vespers sometimes, but never with gravy like Margaret's stew. You still make that potluck recipe at Albany Park?

Peter Adams

In Sydney too, our Polish parish started in a George Street hall before the 1920s church—still see old photos of the first families gathering there on Sundays.

Sophia Turner

Good to hear they still sing "Two Fishers" at St. Seraphim's—my grandson's choir sings it at our Vespers too. Our potato soup recipe came from Oak Cliff's Ukrainian Catholics, though Father Basil brought something similar from the 50s, not Ukraine directly.

Paul Smith

Nice to hear the "Two Fishers" is still going strong at St. Seraphim's. Our parish choir here in Toronto switched to it a couple years back after the old director retired. Did your grandson learn the English or the Greek version?

Hannah Adams

I’ve never tried piroshki after Vespers, but they sound far more tempting than the dry biscuits we get at our parish hall. Did Father Anatoly ever share the exact recipe from his Rostov village, or has it changed over the years? The “Two Fishers” line rings a bell for me too from an old Antiochian book we used in the 90s.

Peter Evans

We don't sing that Denver hymn here in Boston, but the pirogi tradition sounds just like what my late wife used to do after Vespers at our old parish in Cambridge. She stuck to her mother's dill recipe too, never swapped it. Do you serve them with sour cream or just plain?

Nicholas Anderson

We still sing “Two Fishers of Life” at Vespers on the feast itself here in Sydney, but only the first verse – the choir says the longer version drags when it’s hot. Never heard Father Michael mention the Carpathian practice; interesting that your lot kept the Matins slot for big feasts. Did the switch at Denver happen because more people started coming to Vespers or was it just Father Mark’s preference?

Hannah King

We don't do the Denver hymn either, but I love that your grandma's pirogi recipe made the trip from Moscow to Bondi. I always serve mine with a big dollop of sour cream after the Apostles' feast Liturgy here in Ottawa. Have you tried adding a bit of fried onion to the filling?

Elizabeth Wright

I remember those piroshki at St. Vladimir’s – the cabbage ones were always my favourite, especially when they came straight from the oven. Father Anatoly did mention once that his mother used to add a bit of dill from the garden, but I think the parish version has grown a little richer over the years with extra butter. Does the Denver hymn use the same melody as the “Two Fishers” we sang at camp?

Sophia Young

That's a lovely connection, Juliana. The stained glass in old churches like that really stays with you. Did your aunt ever take you inside for a service?

Matthew Young

My yiayia in Wichita always splashed in a little red wine too, said it kept the lamb from getting too gamey. Never did gravy either. We’re still doing it that way down here in Dallas, though my wife cuts the wine with a splash of broth now. You still use the same old recipe?

Paul Davis

Yeah, our parish in Sydney does the Canon at Vespers too, but we don't have a fixed founding-day link like Denver either. After Liturgy we usually grill some souvlaki and share it in the hall with everyone. What do you end up eating on the day, Nicholas?

James Bennett

We do the fried onion in the potato filling too — gives it that extra savoriness. My wife’s version came from her Ukrainian side, not Moscow, but it travels well to Ottawa church suppers. Do you add dill to yours or keep it simple?

Thomas Johnson

My late wife did the same with her mum’s dill recipe, never changed a thing. We always served the pirogi with a dollop of sour cream after Vespers. Did your wife add any caraway to the filling?

Matthew Campbell

Nice to hear that, Peter. Our little parish hall in Denver started much the same way back in the 70s—folding chairs, borrowed icons, and coffee afterwards in the basement. Did those old Sydney photos ever get scanned and put online somewhere?

Irene Brown

We don't sing that Denver hymn at our parish in Chicago either. My pirogi usually have both dill and a little fried onion in the filling, just like the ones we made for the Apostles' feast last year after Liturgy at St. George. Do you ever add a touch of garlic?

Mark Johnson

That's interesting about the George Street hall, Peter. Our own little mission in Pittsburgh back in the late 80s started the same way, just a rented room over on Murray Avenue with a card table for the altar. Did any of those old Sydney families stay in the parish long-term?

Sophia Johnson

We always caramelize the onions for the filling too — it really deepens the flavor. I add a little fresh dill at the end, but my daughters prefer it without, so I split the batch. Does your wife use sauerkraut in hers for the church suppers?

Rachel Moore

Yeah, Margaret’s stew with that bit of gravy still turns up at our Albany Park potlucks every year. The chicken at St John’s sounds good though – ours is usually just plain after Vespers. You ever try adding a splash of lemon to the gravy?

Xenia Phillips

My late husband loved when I added a pinch of caraway to the cabbage filling; it gave it that extra bite. We never touched the dough recipe either, just like your wife. Did you ever try it with a little fried onion on top of the sour cream?

Xenia Parker

We do lamb souvlaki too after Liturgy, but my yiayia always adds extra oregano and serves it with that garlicky yogurt dip everyone fights over. Do you grill yours outside or inside the hall?

Christopher Wilson

We skip the Denver hymn too, but that pirogi recipe really does travel. I add a little dill to the potato ones myself — just enough to brighten it up without taking over. Do you make yours with sauerkraut filling for the feast as well?
