THE COLONY, Texas -- On a Saturday afternoon, the parking lot at St. Sophia’s Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church was full.
Cars lined up outside donned stickers of the Ukrainian flag with its two horizontal blue and yellow bands. And inside by the altar: a Ukrainian flag on the left side and an American flag on the other.
It was a plea to pray — for the end of the war, for peace, for the community and for those fighting on the front lines nearly 6,000 miles away.
