In firm hope that on the foundation of the will of our Savior and the spirit of the Holy Mother Church, with cooperating work it will be possible for us to build up our Greek Rite Catholic Eparchy, in the free land of the United States of America, for the glory of the Almighty God and the salvation of all our dear faithful. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Your humble Father in Chris. +Basil Takach, Bishop (September 30, 1924)
