My wife and I travel to St. Petersburg Florida on a regular basis and attend Mass at a Ukrainian Catholic Church when there. The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom is very beautiful however, not easy to follow if you're not familiar with it. My only faux pas came during the recital of the Creed. In their version of a Missal it reads:

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father (and the Son.).

So I said the words "and the Son" and was the only one in the congregation to do so. I don't know if that's the norm in Eastern Rite Churches or a Parish prerogative. Anyway, I figure when in the Ukraine, do as the Ukrainians do :-) Or something like that.

Here's the link to the Parish.

Epiphany of Our Lord

Thanks for posting the link! Beautiful church and wonderful liturgy. There is a Ukrainian Catholic Church near me, as well, and it was on my list of churches to attend. The Maronite Church, however, grabbed both my heart and my soul, and wouldn't let go ;-D
