Started in the summer of 1983, when a number of old friends from Soyuzivka working days and veterans of Ukrainian studrat activities, happened to meet coincidentally at a Soyuzivka weekend, the club this year celebrated its fifth annual week at Soyuzivka. This year, the participants, numbering more than 60 professional singles (and marrieds) from throughout the United States and Canada, settled into Soyuzivka for some serious fun, which included a treasure hunt, slide shows, campfires, and dances. The week also spotlighted lectures and seminars on Ukrainian community issues. This year's Club Suzie-Q highlight was a ''slave auction," during which various services, such as dancing lessons, "go-pher" duty, and airplane rides were auctioned off to the highest bidders. The S1,000 earned at the auction was donated to the Hanna Sverstiuk Fund, to aid the two-year-old granddaughter of Ukrainian dissident Yevhen Sverstiuk. She is currently undergoing radiation treatment for cancer in Philadelphia.

"Fortunate are those who remain steadfast through God's trials" by Malta Kolomayets JERSEY CITY, N.J. - More than 10,000 faithful, members of the outlawed Ukrainian Catholic Church, gathered in the clearing of a Zarvanytsia forest, Ternopil Oblast to celebrate the millennium of their Christian faith on Sunday, July 17, according to Western tourists who also participated in the religious ceremonies. Reportedly the largest public gathering of Ukrai­ nian Catholics in the Soviet Union since the Stalinist regime outlawed the Church in 1946, the Sunday service was celebrated by Bishop Pavlo Vasylyk of Ivano-Frankivsk. People traveled to Zarvanytsia, the site of a shrine to the Virgin Mary, and one of the most sacred places for Ukrainian Catholics, from towns and villages in the Ternopil, Lviv, Rivno and Transcarpathian oblasts to attend millennium services. Some of the believers journeyed more than 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) and set up camp near the village of Zarvanytsia. Others, traveling by bus, were stopped by the police about five kilometers outside the village and ordered to turn back. The faithful refused and made the final leg of their pilgrimage on foot. The militia kept a watchful eye over the untiring The Ukrainian Catholic faithful bow their heads in prayer during miUennium celebrations in Zarvanytsia. flock, frequently persuading them to disperse and return to their homes. According to Western eyewitnesses, more police appeared on the morning of July 17, accompanied by numerous party officials and Komsomol activists, but neither the stern warnings of the authorities, nor the heavy rains, which began at 2 a.m., could not force the Ukrainian Catholics to break up their commemo­ rations. According to the Rev. Kenneth Olsen, a Ukrai­ nian Catholic priest from British Columbia, faithful of all ages participated in a procession, which wound its way to the site of the jubilee services, encircling a tall wooden cross spiked into the ground. Bishop Vasylyk, with a handful of clergy at his side instructed the faithful that he and his priests would hear confessions, and also offered full abso­ lution to all who attended the service. Members of the Committee in Defense of the Ukrainian Catholic Church were also present, collecting signatures for their petition for the legalization of the Church. The action, which saw bishops of the church emerge from the under­ ground, began in August 1987. The document was sent to both Pope John Paul II and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, and petitioned for the legalization of the Ukrainian Catholic Church. To date, more than 30,000 signatures have been collected. A service, which included the blessing of spring waters, began at li a.m., followed by high mass. Bishop Pavlo Vasylyk celebrates a divine liturgy for more than 10,000 Ukrainian Catholics. To the ^ Responses were sung by the faithful and more than right, shown in profile, is the Rev. Mykhailo Havryliv. 4,000 received the sacrament of Holy Communion, in his moving sermon, Bishop Vasylyk, speaking into a microphone set up for the service, addressed his persecuted faithful, stating: "Great Is this day that the Lord has created; Let us rejoice in it and be jubilant. With these words 1 greet all of you, the sons and daughters of the Catholic Church, on this great holiday, the millennium of the baptism of Kievan Rus'." The hierarch spoke of the year 988, when Prince Volodymyr brought Christianity to his people, when they cast aside their pagan beliefs and inherited a new culture, a Christian culture. It is this culture, said Bishop Vasylyk, that has borne many great men. "Fortunate are those who remain steadfast through God's trials; it is but a small cross in our lives that God's Providence has laid upon our shoulders. And fortunate are those who keep the faith, who do not stray from God's calling," said the bishop to the gathered faithful, who have endured more than four decades of persecution as members of the outlawed Church, which is known as the Church of the Catacombs. . 2^rvanytsia has been regarded as a sacred site for many centuries. Although the first historical reference to the apparition of the Protectress Virgin Mary in this area was in 1458; legends date its existence back to the 13th century.
