How did the Basilians enter Saint Nicholas Church?
Ukrainians had registered their one church as Greek Catholic, but did not give title deeds to the Archbishop. They were fearful that he would force them to embrace the Latin Rite. The Basilians begun serving at the church at the end of 1903. In January of 1904, St. Nicholas Church Committee held a general meeting, and elected Father Hura as their first permanent Pastor. Thus, the Basilians assumed the spiritual administration of the parish.
