Over several days, conference participants discussed modern challenges in managing church resources, financial transparency, the development of organizational and parish communities, and new approaches to supporting ministry. Numerous practical cases and solutions successfully implemented in U. S. dioceses were presented during the forum.

“This experience provided us with a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge, establish partnerships, and discover new ideas for the ministry and development of the Church in Ukraine,” noted Fr. Lyubomyr Yavorskyy.
