The Ukrainian American
Cultural Center of New Jersey is located in a stunning, brand new,
24,000 square foot building in Whippany, NJ. The Cultural Center’s
purpose is to provide facilities for
the preservation of Ukrainian heritage and culture, and to promote and
conduct educational and social programs for persons of Ukrainian descent
and for the community at large.
 In less than
two years of operation, the Cultural Center has become a significant focal
point of Ukrainian American life in New Jersey, and is becoming a beacon
for the Ukrainian American community in the United States.
At present, nearly twenty member
organizations offer cultural, sports, scouting, social, medical,
educational, women’s, and spiritual programs to approximately
2,500 participants each month. Many
Morris County organizations also host events and programs at the
Cultural Center weekly.
Our project is
only 50% complete. Now
that our doors are open, facility rental and program management have become equally
as important as fundraising. We are actively raising funds to
become self sufficient and allow the
St. John the Baptist
Ukrainian Catholic Church to break ground on what will be an
architectural icon in Whippany, NJ. The archdiocese has supported
the construction of the Center to serve the needs of the non-religious
organizations of the community. The Center also houses a temporary
chapel for the St. John parish members who are eagerly waiting for their
new church. Please call 973-585-7175 to book your events, gym time
and meeting rooms. Our Reception Hall can accommodate up to 250
guests with a large dance floor.
