The Ukrainian Orthodox League ("UOL" or "the League") is a vital organ of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA. 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 Rather Volodymyr Bukata formulated the organization and the Ukrainian Orthodox League was incorporated in the State of New Jersey in 1948. Its motto—"Dedicated to the church, devoted to its youth"—drives its members to work within the diocese and parishes.
The Senior Chapter of the UOL at St. Vladimir UOC first organized in 1957, under the leadership of Fr. Stephen Hallick-Holutiak, with Paul Meaden as its President. Over the years, they have been active in the life of the parish, hosting events and programs for parishioners, especially the youth, organizing their annual Sviat Vechir (Christmas Eve dinner), and raising funds for many charities and projects. The Cleveland-Parma Sr. UOL has hosted several National Conventions (1949, 1955, 1968, 1976, 1984, 1989, 1995, 2004, 2013).
