In Gratitude of UGCC Head Lubomyr Cardinal Husar

our Beatitude Patriarch Lubomyr Husar!   

News of Your Excellency’s withdrawal from the Executive of the Supreme Archbishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church has spread quickly…

On behalf of the whole of the Ukrainian Canadian Community, please accept our sincere gratitude for the work you have put in over the years for the benefit of the Ukrainian people.

On the 10^th anniversary of your service, you were faced with many challenges: consolidating the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church both in and outside of Ukraine, guiding the faithful during the creation of an independent Ukraine, and, last but not least, ensuring that the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church occupies a proud and dignified place among the Churches of the world.

Throughout all these years, you became not only a spiritual leader and a role model for your followers, but also a moral compass for all of the Ukrainian community - always enlightening people with the truth about God and God’s role in our lives.

Because of your steadfast dedication and indomitable faith, the main altar of the Church was returned to the spiritual heart of Ukraine - Kyiv, and millions of the faithful from all over the world continue to rediscover God and find a place for him in their hearts.

Again, please accept our gratitude for your years of devoted service. May God bless you, the Church, and all of the people of Ukraine.
