by Helen Perozak Smindak UNIONDALE, N. Y. - To look back over 50 years of hard work, of dedication to religious traditions, of happy times and sad occasions, and of perseverance through tribulations cannot be achieved by riffling through a scrapbook or scanning a photo album. With this in mind, the parish of St. Michael's Ukrai­ nian Orthodox Church here set aside a whole day to celebrate the 50th anniver­ sary of the first Ukrainian church center formed on Long Island, to honor its pioneers and outstanding members, and to mark the Feast Day of St. Michael the Archangel, for whom the church is named. The special anniversary was held on November 23, beginning with a divine Liturgy in the small brick church with its familiar bulb-shaped dome. St. Michael's pastor, the Rev'. Dr.' Simon Hayuk, and the Rev. Vasyl Iwashchuk, pastor of St. Sophia Ukrainian Ortho­ dox Church in Bayonne, N.J., сопсеїе– brated the Liturgy, assisted by the Rev.
