Hartford's growth reflected in fates of r^ational home, parish school by Christine Demkowych ^"""" ^""^

PART III

By 1935 the Ukrainian community of Hartford had grown to the point that the church hali was no longer large enough to accommodate ail its pa­ rishioners for social gatherings. As a result, a group of parishioners set out to establish a Ukrainian Citizens C1ub in a location not far from the church. This effort was spearheaded by Mr. A. Drapiak, who found a building on the corner of Charter Oak Avenue, which was transformed into a meeting place for community activities. Despite the financial hardships facing citizens of the United States during the Depres­ sion, the Ukrainian community some­ how managed to pay the center's monthly fee of S1O. Antin Lokot, who was one of the prime organizers of the first Ukrainian Catholic church in Hartford, was also the first Citizens Club president. Soon, the members of the club de­ cided to search for a bigger and better home for their club. Although historical records do not indicate the exact yearof the relocation, it has been reported that the new club on Willow Street was used to stage various events, pertaining to social, cultural or political affairs. One of the functions held at the club was an international festival, during which Ukrainian dancers garnered a first­ Students and teachers of St. Michaers "Ridna Shkola' in Hartford. p1ace award for their fine performance. that would satisfy all of the commu­ the first Ukrainian Catholic school in pendent-study basis.
