United in a Shared Calling to Serve: UGCC Youth Leaders’ Forum Held in the United States

Youth leaders from the four Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church eparchies in the United States gathered at St. Basil the Great Seminary in Stamford, Connecticut, from October 9 to 11, 2026. Organized by the UGCC Metropolitan Youth Committee in the United States, the forum provided a space for representatives to share experiences, discuss common challenges, and plan future cooperation for youth ministry.

The event received support from Bishop Bohdan Danylo, the eparch of the Eparchy of Saint Josaphat in Parma. The program began with the theme "Get Acquainted. Listen. Be Inspired," which included a Divine Liturgy and a presentation by Deacon Andriy Kurzawski. Kurzawski, a high school teacher and member of the Vocations Commission of the Eparchy of Saint Josaphat in Parma, spoke on what young people are looking for in the Church today.
