=St. Michael the Archangel Ukrainian Catholic Church (Rhode Island)= St. Michael the Archangel Ukrainian Catholic Church (Woonsocket, RI) was founded in 1908 by Ukrainian immigrants seeking work in the mills of the Blackstone River Valley of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Fr. Michael Struminsky was the parish's first permanent priest, although Ukrainian Catholic Divine Liturgies were celebrated in Woonsocket as early as 1903. By 1914, the parish had grown to 600 families and some 1,290 infants were baptized that year. One hundred years later, the parish had decreased in number to about 70 individuals. The current church building, situated on Blackstone Street in Woonsocket, was built in 1923. The current priest is Rev. Msgr. Roman Golemba.

Live video broadcasts
Today, the parish is noted for its live and recorded video broadcasts of its Divine Liturgies. It is the only parish in the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy (Diocese) of Stamford (CT) that broadcasts its Divine Liturgies. The parish uses two PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras to stream its high-definition broadcasts (720p) through a page in its web site. In addition to the video player, the web page also includes the full text of the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom with the appropriate Typicon, Epistle and Gospel readings for any Sunday.
