We were blessed to have Sister Teodoziya Mostepaniuk, from St. Michael the Archangel Province in Croatia (currently pursuing doctoral studies at the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome), visit our Province from February 14 until March 18, 2025.  Sister worked diligently in our Archives gathering information for her doctoral thesis on the topic Centralization of our Order.

This trip also gave her time to fine tune her English as she spoke only English with the sisters.  She was also able to visit New York City on a one-day trip accompanied by Sister Teodora Kopyn and her nephew Veniamyn who had Spring Break from his classes at Manor.   This trip to New York included visiting the famous sights of Manhattan; the Statue of Liberty, the 9/11 Memorial, Chinatown, St. George Ukrainian Catholic Church, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Rockefeller Center and Central Park.  Amid tears and many requests asking her to visit again, the Fox Chase sisters bid her farewell on March 18.
