    Official Publication of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia VOL. 74 - No. 08 APRIL 28, 2013 ENGLISH VERSION Sobor of the Stamford Eparchy The Vibrant parish – a place to encounter the living Christ Group photo of the Stamford Eparchy Sobor. From April 18 to 20, 2013, the Stamford Eparchy held an Eparchial Sobor on the theme: “The Vibrant parish – a place to encounter the living Christ.” Almost 200 delegates (priests, religious and lay representatives) gathered from all corners of the eparchy in St. Basil Seminary in Stamford, Connecticut. Under the leadership of His Excellency Most Rev. Paul Chomnycky, OSBM, Eparch of Stamford, the delegates reaffirmed that in close communion with the bishop, our parishes must play a fundamental role in the spreading of the faith in Christ. For it is in our parish communities that the faithful most frequently encounter Christ through Christian instruction, community prayer and service to one’s neighbor. And so in promoting and enlivening our parish life, we also enliven the entire Church. On behalf of the Sobor delegates Bishop Paul Chomnycky sent greetings to His Holiness Pope Francis and His Beatitude Patriarch Sviatoslav. Among the guests of the Sobor were: His Grace Metropolitan Stefan Soroka of Philadelphia, His Excellency Bishop Ken Nowakowski of New Westminster, His Excellency Bishop Basil H. Losten of Stamford, and Father Andrew Onuferko of Ottawa, Canada. The delegates to the Eparchial Sobor reaffirmed and resolved to preserve and foster our spiritual treasure of the Byzantine-Kyivan tradition: its liturgy, theology, and spirituality, and deeply desired to share our spiritual treasure with all who wish to encounter Christ with us in our parish communities.
