My brothers in Christ! I ask everyone in this room to pray for me as i prepare myself for the ordination to diaconate. Pray that I would be God's faithful deacon. I look forward to finding ways to serve my Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in the USA. Whatever gifts God has given me, I desire to use them to serve my Ukrainian people.

Welcome Ivan,
To the Forum and to the Clergy. I live not too far from the Holy Family Shrine and sometimes participate in liturgy and other events there.
Is your ordination going to be held at the Shrine? I know the St. Josaphat Seminary is around the corner. Is that where you have been studying?
May the Lord Bless your ministry and give you many years in which to serve.

May the Trinity who called you to the service of the Ukranian Church guide your work in ministry. May God strengthen your mind and body and spirit to meet the demands of His needy people. May He sustain you with the support of your brothers and sisters in all of His Churches.
Ad multos annos!

May God ever be at your side, and may you truly serve His flock.
Praying for you... (And perhaps will be at your ordination too... we will see.)
