71st ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE
LEAGUE OF UKRAINIAN CATHOLICS OF AMERICA
Glory be to Jesus Christ!
The Western Pennsylvania Council of the League of Ukrainian
Catholics of America is pleased to announce the 71st Annual
Convention of the LUC on October 9,10,11, 2009 in Green
Tree, a suburb of Pittsburgh, PA to the Most Reverend
Hierarchs, Reverend Clergy, Venerable Religious, LUC
members, Ukrainian Catholic faithful, and friends of the
Ukrainian Catholic Church of the United States of America.
Please mark your calendars now and plan to attend.
The Convention theme is “CHRIST LIVES IN ME” from Saint
Paul’s Letter to the Galatians 2:20. We are most honored to
have His Grace Most Reverend Nicholas Samra (see biography),
retired Auxiliary Bishop of the Melkite Byzantine Catholic
Church in America, to lead two sessions with dynamic talks
on “Stewardship” and “Leadership” that will reflect our
theme. A
proposed Convention schedule is also enclosed. We pray that
after reviewing it, you will want to attend the Convention
for Christian fellowship, spiritual blessings, and
thanksgiving. The Convention Committee welcomes the input,
encouragement, and prayers of Reverend Fathers Valerian M.
Michlik and Ivan Chirovsky, pastors of Pittsburgh parishes,
and of Monsignor George Appleyard, Dean of the Central
Deanery of the Eparchy of Saint Josaphat in Parma.
We know that some LUC members are now limited in their
travel abilities and may not be able to attend. But, we all
want to know how you are doing. Please take the opportunity
to place an advertisement in the Convention journal, or to
list your name as a Patron or Booster, so that we may know
you are with us in spirit.
We issue a special invitation to the Ukrainian Catholic
faithful in the Central, Eastern, and Western Deaneries of
the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Saint Josaphat in Parma to
attend the Convention so that you may fellowship with our
guests from outside the tn-state area.
You can make your room reservations, and send in your
Convention journal book advertisements or name listing, and
your raffle chances, starting now. Please make all checks or
money orders payable to LUC CONVENTION 2009, and send them
to Nickolas C. Kotow, 6390 Churchill Road, Bethel Park, PA
15102-3 159. For more information, you may contact Nick C.
Kotow at 724-337-5704 (24 hour voicemail). Please save these
