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 Holy Spirit strengthen you for the ministry of service you are about to be ordained to.

In Christ,

Dear Ivan,

May St Stephen the Protomartyr and Archdeacon, St Romanos the Melodist and St Lawrence the Archdeacon of Rome intercede for you and may God bless you in the service to the Ukrainian Church and people, now and always!

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.)

His Grace, Metropolitan Stefan Soroka will ordain Ivan Turyk to the Diaconate this week during the Divine Liturgy. There will only be one Divine Liturgy this Sunday at 10:30 am. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend.

The Shrine is located on Harewood Rd. in Washington, DC. Just up the hill from the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception.

Best wishes, Ivan.

Ivan - may God abundantly bless you in your work for the Church. Daj Bozhe Z'Drovja i Mnohaya Lita!

Pray for me as well, as my final reviews for my own diaconal ordination will be coming soon in my Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of St. Nicholas.
