By God’s grace, Archpriest Paul Shafran, Pastor Emeritus (retired), St. Vladimir Church, Trenton , marked his 104th birthday on July 2, 2026. His daughters arranged an in-home celebration, joined by several other family members including two of his great grandchildren. On Sunday July 5, the celebration continued at the church with Father Volodymyr Chaikivskyi, Pastor, along with family members and parishioners. After everyone sang Happy Birthday, Father Paul led them in singing “God Bless America” to honor our nation’s 250th anniversary. We sincerely thank Father Paul for his long life of dedicated service to the Church, and we extend our best wishes and prayers to him for peace, health, and salvation! Mnogaya Leta!
