Top authorities of Ukraine greet the head of the UGCC on his birthday

On February 26, 2010, His Beatitude Lubomyr, head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, turned 77. As well as in previous years, with the exception of the celebration of his 75^th birthday, the head of the UGCC spent this day working. However, what reminded of the fact that the day was a holiday were the numerous greetings from the bishops of the UGCC, priests, representatives of state and local authorities, and the intelligentsia. Greetings to the head of the UGCC were sent by the President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych, Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko, head of the Supreme Council of Ukraine Volodymyr Lytvyn, head of Security Service of Ukraine Valentine Nalyvaychenko, Minister of Economy of Ukraine Bohdan Danylyshyn, Minister of Health of Ukraine Vasyl Knyazevych, and other venerable persons. “Let the Lord gives to you strength in hierarchal ministry for God’s glory, for the good of the faithful of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and our entire nation,” read the congratulatory telegrams.
