Ukrainian Catholic patriarch meets with St. Sophia Religious Association

PHILADELPHIA - On Sunday, February 19, Cardinal Lubomyr Husar attended a special meeting of the St. Sophia Religious Association of Ukrainian Catholics.

In a brief address, the patriarch of the Ukrainian Catholic Church especially welcomed three recently elected members of the society, Vera Nimchuk, Marko Jarymovych and Nicholas Rudnytzky; offered thoughts on the current status of the Ukrainian Catholic Church; and discussed with the members of the society the current problems facing the Church both in Ukraine and in the diaspora.

Special attention was accorded to the Church's Rome Center, which is part of the legacy of Patriarch Josyf Slipyj, and the Slipyj Memorial Museum in the Ukrainian village of Zadrist.

These discussions will be continued during the meeting of all St. Sophia Associations, which was to be held in Rome during the second half of March.
