On the 135th anniversary of the birth of the blessed martyr, righteous man of Ukraine, patron saint of the UGCC pastors, Father Omelian Kovch, we offer an updated edition of the work "Why Our Own Run Away from Us". In this work, published in 1932, Blessed Omelyan Kovch reflects on why Greek Catholics leave their native Church and join the Latin or other Churches. He writes courageously and frankly about the problems that existed in the Greek Catholic Church at the time. "Why Our Own Run Away from Us is an example of a pastor's sincere concern for the spiritual flock entrusted to him, and food for thought for modern priests who are faced with the question of how to make their parish a place of encounter with the living Christ.
