Cardinal Lubomyr Husar, head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic
Church (UGCC), will be on his third pastoral visit to Canada
from 6 to 24 February 2003. According to Fr. Ken Nowakowski,
rector of the UGCC seminary in Ottawa, who is responsible
for the organization of the trip, Cardinal Husar will visit
Winnipeg, Ottawa, Hamilton, Woodstock, Toronto and Montreal.
During his visit, Cardinal Husar is expected to deliver a
