Thank you for being faithful to the Destiny and your calling, preserving the traditions of your predecessors and multiplying their achievements,” congratulated the World Executive of the Ukrainian Youth Association CYM in Canada and noted that on this anniversary “the national organization of this field is celebrating in the prime of life and with a large baggage of good deeds done for the glory of God and Ukraine.”
