St. Andrew's Brotherhood revitalized in Bound Brook

SOUTH BOUND BROOK, N.J. - After nearly 15 years of inactivity, the Brotherhood of St. Andrew's Ukrainian Orthodox Memorial Church in South Bound Brook, N.J., has been revitalized.

At a meeting on November 22, 1998, chaired by Archbishop Anthony and the Revs. William Diakiw and Jurij Siwko, and with the blessings of Metropolitan Constantine, the revised constitution of St. Andrew's Brotherhood was adopted by the general membership and new members of the board were elected.

President Jaroslaw Hucul expressed his thanks to the members for the faith placed in him to lead the brotherhood in service to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the U.S.A.

Other members of the board are Victor Babanskyj, Walter Hryhorenko, Wasyl Krasnobryzyj, Michael Shulha, Igor Sawon and Michael Zemlachenko.

Members of the Auditing Committee are: Oleksij Shevchenko, Lew Masurek, Emil Skocypec and Victor Rosynsky.

Of particular importance within the brotherhood's new constitution is a paragraph explicitly stating that, with the blessings of the UOC-U.S.A. Consistory, the brotherhood can extend support and work with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Ukraine and also with St. Andrew's Brotherhood in Ukraine.

On November 29, 1998, at the first board meeting of the St. Andrew's Brotherhood announced a contribution of $1,000 to be donated to victims of the floods in the Zakarpattia region of Ukraine. The money will be contributed to a fund set up by the UOC-U.S.A. Consistory to help the thousands suffering in that region of Ukraine.
