| Your Excellency,
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress as well as the over 1.2 million-strong population of Ukrainians in Canada, we would like to extend to you our sincere congratulations on being elected to the position of the Head of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church.
We are pleased and encouraged by the fact that your appointment has come to symbolize innovation, progress, and the continued expansion of the Church. It also marks the unification of the Ukrainian faithful from all over the world under the leadership in the ancient and gold-studded city of Kyiv. We would like to wish you abundant strength and God’s blessing in the continued advancement of our faith, traditions, and Christian values, as well as in the Church’s continued quest to unite Ukrainians all over the world around a strong foundation of Christian Faith and love for their Motherland.
We hope to continue the strong collaboration of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church with the Ukrainian Canadian Congress – a body which unites all the national, provincial, as well as local Ukrainian organizations under one umbrella.
Again, we would like to wish you strength, health, wisdom, and unwavering Faith in your service to the Church and all Ukrainians.
Ukrainian Canadian Congress
