Ukraine: Greek-Catholics open process of beatification of the predecessor of their current major archbishop: Ljubomyr Husar

Archbishop and Cardinal Husar was born in 1933 in Lviv, where he spent his childhood years, and then fled with his family in 1944, following the war events, taking refuge in Salzburg in Austria, where he attended the gymnasium organized by Ukrainian emigrants. In 1949 he moved to the United States with his parents and older sister, entering the minor seminary in Stamford, Connecticut, to conclude his theological studies in Washington until his priestly ordination celebrated in 1958 by Msgr. Ambrose Senyshin, of the Stamford eparchy of the Ukrainians.
