According to the latest reports, on August 4, local police forcibly broke up a gathering in the city called by the Initiative Group of the newly formed ' Democratic Front to Promote Pere- stroika - an umbrella organization representing several "informal" groups. Moreover, the authorities have also begun taking tougher action against members of the banned Ukrainian Catholic Church after a number of unauthorized religious services last month, which attracted several thou­ sand worshippers. For some time now the Ukrainian authorities have demonstrated their unease about the recent surge of inde­ pendent public activity in Lviv. It will be recalled that in June and July three mass public meetings were held in the city, the largest of which, on June 21, attracted an estimated 50,000 people. On July 10, some 15,000 people were present when the Democratic Front was formed. The response of the authorities was to attack the organizers of the meetings in the press, issue warnings and threaten Ukrainian activists with criminal proceedings.

Як Ви бачите зі знимки, а знимка каже більше як тисячу слів, будова нашого As you know, the upper exterior of the Shrine is practically completed. The enclosed Крайового Собору ззовні майже скінчена. Все залізо вже здвигнено, стіни photo tells more than a thousand words! Here are some of the major components of this довкруги Собору обмуровані каменем, стіни фасади і святилища, як рівнож grand upper Shrine exterior: (l)three copper, truly Ukrainian, domes covered with 23 karat частини веж,- покриті мармуром.

All of this complex and endurmg work has taken much longer and has become more Наприклад, наша сусідна величава Римо-Католицька Національна Святиня expensive than we originally contemplated.

But відправлялись в крипті Святині, це б то в долішній частині продовж 33-ох років). history demonstrates that this is normal for churches which are built with love and care to last Ми не сподіваємось, що будова нашого Собору буде так довго тривати.
