The visits of the Synod members led by the Primate of the UGCC is always an opportunity of getting better acquainted, common prayer and sharing spiritual and pastoral experience.


“We hope that the Permanent Synod with their presence and their advice and solutions will help us to even better fulfill our mission in the United States and promise to accompany our prayer meeting,” said Fr. Michael Kuzma, chancellor of Chicago Diocese.


This session of the Permanent Synod will be devoted to preparation of the next Synod of Bishops of the UGCC, as well as consideration of current issues of church life and public service of the UGCC in native lands and settlements.
