On 3 April 2003, Cardinal Lubomyr Husar, head of the Ukrainian
Greek Catholic Church (UGCC), presented the Ukrainian translation

help for the publication came from Pope John Paul II.
During the presentation, Greek Catholic Bishop Sofron Mudryi
of Ivano-Frankivsk told about the work on translation and
difficulties that had to be dealt with during the preparation
of the book.

Haikovskyi, of the political science department of the Wood-Processing
and Technical Institute in Lviv, and Prof. Yosyp Los of the
