Speedin' Demon Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 I'm realizing today is the last Friday in Lent, and I didn't have St. Michael's pierogis this year. But they don't seem to be as big a deal as they used to be? There used to be long lines and they were very good. Last time I had them, they were OK, and were getting quite expensive. Did anyone get any this year? How were they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopropyl Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 They are up to $10/dozen. Not as good as they used to be. Many people stopped going because of Mike and Nasty Nadine Korchak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let's Go Brandon Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 St Mike's is full of political bullshit. They won't let any other groups have political meetings or fundraisers there, but they let the Korchaks do whatever they want. They should lose their tax exempt status. Then the over priced pierogis would get even more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FormerSomeone Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 I agree. They used to be a rite of Spring. Not so much now. As were events and receptions at St. John's Ukranian Hall and the never-ending halupkis. Lost to the ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaz Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 I didn't get any this year either, IMO the quality has been slipping but they are certainly better than anything store bought. I also heard that there aren't as many people volunteering these days. Not surprised - last time I was there the average age of the volunteers must have been 80.

SU75 Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 When I first remember getting St. Michael's perogies, probably in the early 1990's, I think they were $3 or $4 a dozen. Of course the price of everything has gone up since then, but in recent years the perogies have gotten smaller and the prices continue to rise. I'm sure the cost of ingredients have increased, but they have no overhead... it's all volunteer based, they are tax exempt, and they own the recreation hall and all the equipment. It seems like pure greed to me. There's also been rumors of financial improprieties at St. Mikes over the years, involving a certain family who runs the church. I prefer to avoid all the drama and buy the Wegmans brand frozen perogies, they are actually very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesteryear Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 The Carpathian Festival at St. Michael's yesterday had a low turn out. It's very sad, it used to be a big event with many attendees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlCurtis Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Many people stopped going to St. Michaels fundraisers because the Korchak's politicized the church. There are two nice twins who work for the City of Binghamton who volunteer at St. Mikes, and Nadine Korchak calls them "retards". Because of behavior like that, many people are done dealing with all the BS that goes on at St. Mikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawoffice Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Jimmy and Jerry are an asset for sure... Their whole family does a lot for Saint Mikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very nice young men. To hear Nadine Korchak call them retards is very upsetting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
