The London branch of the Ukrainian Youth Association hosted a presentation on Saturday, January 28th, on the life of Josyf Slipyj, Cardinal and Patriarch, who spent 18 years in Soviet concentration camps persecuted for his faith and allegiance to the Ukrainian Catholic Church, Ukrainian Institute in London informs.

The presentation was made by Andy Hunder, Director of the Ukrainian Institute in London, who studied philosophy and theology in Rome for ten years. The Ukrainian Institute in London, which is affiliated to the Ukrainian Catholic University, is one of a number of institutions across the globe founded by Patriarch Slipyj.

The process to recognise Josyf Slipyj as a saint of the Catholic Church has already been launched.
