Photo Gallery

These photographs capture moments from the life of St. Michael Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Tampa Bay: the Divine Liturgy on Sundays, feast days, the great celebration of Pascha, parish fellowship after services, the blessing of homes and baskets, baptisms and weddings, ministry events, and the simple gatherings that make up our community.

We share these images because parish life is meant to be seen, not hidden. If you are considering visiting for the first time, the photos give you a sense of what to expect: a warm, prayerful, multigenerational community where Ukrainian and English are both spoken, and where newcomers are genuinely welcomed.

New photos are added after major events. If you have photographs from a parish gathering you would like to share, please email them to the parish office. If you prefer not to appear in any future photo, simply let us know after the service or via the contact form and we will respect that.
