The Ukrainian Orthodox League (“UOL” or “the League”) is a vital organ of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the United States of America. The formation of the League was authorized during the Church’s Seventh Sobor in 1946. A committee under the direction of the late Very Reverend Father Volodymyr Bukata formulated the organization and the Ukrainian Orthodox League was incorporated in the State of New Jersey in 1948. The Ukrainian Orthodox League partners and aids many organizations within or as an extension of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, All Saints Camp, St. Sophia’s Seminary, St. Andrew Society, and most recently helping with humanitarian aid to Ukraine. The Ukrainian Orthodox League is a national volunteer organization of members in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA, who are committed to promoting the Orthodox Faith, supporting the Church, developing the potential of our youth and their active participation in the life of the Church, and preserving Ukrainian heritage and culture.
