Mark your calendar for June 25th and plan to attend the Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic Church Picnic.
I’m unsure why the church is calling it a picnic this year, instead of a festival, as it was referred to last year, but in any event it seems that little has changed with the great offerings.
The Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic Church will also have an additional feather in their cap. Long known by local residents as having the best pierogies in the the Lehigh Valley, that honor was made official late last year when they took the top honor in a competition that included dozens of entries from other churches, restaurants, and individuals.
As the judges put it:
Holy Ghost Ukrainian, our very first taste-testing stop, stood out immediately with a pierogi that nailed all the fundamentals. The dough was substantial but not too chewy, too tough or too soft. The filling of potatoes with American and sharp cheddar cheeses tasted fresh and well-seasoned. Father Dan Troyan, the church’s pastor, served the pierogi in two styles: boiled and pan-fried. The former satisfied us, and the latter cemented the victory.
