St. Volodymyr Society Established in Kyiv

03.11, [19:59] // Press-releases // UGCC Info


Kyiv -- The constituent assembly of the �Sobor Patriarchal Society of Grand Prince St. Volodymyr� was held in Ukraine�s capital Kyiv on 30 October 2003. The society will act to continue the patriarchal movement of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC) under the slogan �For Unity in Church and among People� and is part of the Community of the Patriarchal Sobor of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ in Kyiv, under the spiritual leadership of Cardinal Lubomyr Husar, head of the UGCC.

According to Fr. Oleksa Petriv, advisor for the UGCC on relations with administrative bodies in Kyiv, the society�s activities will be aimed at promoting unity in Ukrainian society, facilitating spiritual renewal and consolidating traditional Christian values, working to restore church unity to the situation at the time of Kyivan Rus and among the Ukrainian churches that are successors of St. Volodymyr�s baptism.

During the meeting, the statutes of the society and the plan of activities were worked out. In addition, the administration and the revision commission were elected. Svitlana Ternopilska, an active member of the lay movement of the UGCC in Kyiv, was elected head of the Patriarchal Society.
From what I know this society is growing and already has members from other Ukie Orthodox confessions. (Are the MPs included here?)It's really good to hear news like this.

Where do I sign up for a lifetime membership?

On a tangent - Lauro, the KP Ukrainian Chasoslov is very good, you should make sure and get one.

Dear Diak,

Where can one order it?

And I want a lifetime membership too!

Alex

I'm in for a lifetime membership too.

hal

I'd like a lifetime membership as well, but I don't have their address. Hey maybe they got a special promotion like: when you join you get a specialized taylor made windbreaker or sportsjacket with St. Volodymyr Society written on the back and baseball cap that you could show off while you parade down the isle to the tetrapod on Sunday.
Now talking about the chasoslov from the KP. I don't think I'd be able to find one down here, but I'll go to the Basilians to see if they could get me one "autographed" by the patriarch himself. Now that would be something really nice to have, but probably, unprobable.

Correction:instead of "isle" please read "aisle".
Please forgive my blundernity,
Lauro

Lauro,

If only I spoke and wrote Portugese a fraction of the way you write in English I'd be over the moon !!

Another wee correction to help you

taylor - more accurately Taylor is a surname
tailor - I think is what you meant - someone who makes formal suits etc

There is a french joke about tailors akin to the reference we Brits make to "La plume de ma tante" - but I won't bore you with it.

Thanks for the correction. I will be more careful with my spelling the next time, but if you think I have problems with English...You haven't seen what I can do with Ukrainian. I think Shevtchenko (our great poet) turns around in his grave when he hears me speaking.
Lauro

and
Easiest way to get a hold of one is to get it from Ukraine. Know anyone going to Kyiv?

I think I'll be able to go to Ukraine in about two years from now. Who knows maybe the Patriarchal Sabor and residence that Husar is building will be finished by that time. Maybe they'll have extra rooms available for poor choir conductors just as I and maybe offer low nightly rates.
