Happy 90th Birthday League of Ukrainian Catholics In Honor of our Birthday ~ Convention Registration is EXTENDED to August 28th

Registration is now open for our 90th Anniversary Convention

We are pleased to announce the League of Ukrainian Catholics will host a live, virtual spiritual retreat during Great Lent. We are honored and blessed to have the Ukrainian Catholic Bishops of the US as our spiritual guides: Metropolitan Archbishop Borys Gudziak, Bishop Bohdan Danylo, Bishop Paul Chomnycky and Bishop Benedict Aleksiychuk.
Last year, through our Lenten Retreat the bishops introduced the 10 year Pastoral Plan of the Synod of Bishops of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. We know it as “The Hope to Which The Lord Calls Us”. This year, we will open and explore it through a different lens.
Please make plans to join us. Registration and program is free. Spread the news. Invite your friends and family. You don’t need to be a LUC member to participate.

A Spiritual Retreat into Great Lent – April 3rd, 2022

Vision 2020 reached its destination in time, while building a strong foundation for the pastoral path into and through the next decade. How do we focus our spiritual energy so that we grow in Christ? In the Pastoral plan, ‘THE HOPE TO WHICH THE LORD CALLS US’ , the Synod of Bishops beautifully set the scene and provide a roadmap for us. We have taken this Pastoral plan and lovingly present it in the context of a Spiritual Retreat. Please join us as we journey together through Great Lent.
