Dr. Mark Morozowich has been officially named the Dean of the School of Theology and Religious Studies at the Catholic University of America. With the naming of Fr. Morozowich as Dean, we have an indicator that our Church around the world and in the United States is still alive and that we have a future and vital role in welcoming all people to encounter the Living Christ, not only in the parish, but in our global Ukrainian Greek with its traditions, liturgy, and spirituality. In his position as Dean, Fr.
