St. Josaphat (baptized Johannes) Kuncevyc, was born circa 1580 in Volodymr, Lithuania.

He died a martyr’s death in Vitebsk, Russia, on 11/12/1623.

All of the sacred images of the church are illuminated by a myriad of tiny light bulbs. The church was originally built with both gas and electric which can be seen by observing the fixtures throughout the church At the turn of the century there was a great fascination with the electric light bulb which is clearly witnessed in St. Josaphat Church.
