"Born in Vikno, West Ukraine on 17 September 1893, he completed his high school education in Tarnopil and Lviv. After the First World War he studied theology at the Theological Seminary in Lviv and at the Catholic University in Innsbruck, Austria from which he received a doctorate in divinity in 1929. From 1930 to 1934, he taught at the Theological Seminary at Stanislaviv, Ukraine. He came to Canada in May 1934 and became a Ukrainian Catholic priest at Winnipeg. From 1947 to 1951, the Cathedral of Saints Vladimir and Olga was built under his leadership. In 1951, he was elevated to the position of Domestic Prelate by Pope Pius XII. In 1968, he was named Mitred priest by Patriarch Yosyf Slipyj, Archbishop Major of the Ukrainian Catholic Church. An outspoken anti-communist, in 1945 he led a delegation to the inaugural meeting of the United Nations in San Francisco, California to challenge the right of the Ukrainian Soviet to represent Ukrainians. He was one of the founders of the Ukrainian Canadian Committee, serving as its president from 1940 to 1953 and 1957 to 1972. He was founder and president of the Pan-American Ukrainian Conference, and he initiated and chaired the first World Congress of Free Ukrainians, serving as the president of its Executive Board from 1968 to 1969 and from 1973 to 1978. He received the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medal (1953), the Canadian Centennial Medal (1967), and the Order of Canada (1972). In recognition of his service to the Ukrainian Canadian community, he was awarded the Taras Shevchenko medal in 1961. He died at Winnipeg on 25 September 1979." [Source: Sts. Valdimir & Olga Cathedral Ukrainian Catholic Church).

Terms of Sale

Black's Fine Books & Manuscripts

In respect to items purchased from us over the internet, our Terms of Sale are as follows: 1) We are professional booksellers and adhere to the standards of our professional associations, both in terms of describing books and offering redress in case of a discrepancy. 2) The prices of all material offered for sale on our web site, or on the databases to which we subscribe, are net in US dollars, and each item is subject to prior sale. Normally payment in full must be received before an item will be shipped. If sending a cheque, money order, or purchase order, it is advisable to contact us first to request that the book be reserved for you pending receipt of payment. 3) Payment to Black's Fine Books and Manuscripts may be made by cheque drawn on a US or Canadian bank; wire transfer (please contact us directly for our BIC/IBAN/SWIFT particulars); and credit card (MasterCard, VISA, AMEX). Please note that we reserve the right to delay shipment of any book paid for by cheque, until the cheque has cleared the payer's bank account. If paying by money order, please make sure that you purchase a form of money order which may be cashed in Canada (i.e., an international money order). 4) Payment with order, please. We do not send any item out on approval unless prior arrangements have been made. Legitimate book dealers, with whom we have established a reciprocal arrangement, and any member of the ABAC, ABAA, ABA, or an ILAB-affiliated national organization, may apply for a trade discount on any proposed purchase. Canadian purchasers will be charged GST. Known academic institutions, or libraries, may be billed upon receipt of a purchase order. 5) Any item purchased from Black's Fine Books and Manuscripts is returnable (postpaid) to us within ten days of receipt, if it is found to be substantially different than as described. However, we guarantee any item we sell to be authentic as to provenance, or state of issue (i.e. if we claim a book is a first edition, we guarantee it to be such). If our description of a book in regard to provenance or state of issue is in error, it may be returned to us (with prior notice, please) for refund within one year of purchase. We do offer a layaway arrangement on more expensive items: generally where the purchase price exceeds $1,000. Typically, the purchaser should offer to us a down payment and propose acceptable terms of payment. We do not charge interest on payments made according to such an agreement. The item being purchased will be shipped upon receipt of payment in full. If payment is not made in accordance with the terms of the layaway arrangement, then the deposit and any payments will only be refunded after we have re-sold the item in question, and deducted our re-selling costs (if any). We can provide digital photographs or scans, sent as .jpeg attachments, of any item in stock. In making such a request, please be as specific as possible as to the views you would like to receive. Please bear in mind that it is not practical for us to provide photos to people doing research, or seeking to compile a library of digital images, and that we are less inclined to send photos of an inexpensive book (due to the time and effort it requires), in the absence of a demonstrable need or reason on the part of the would-be purchaser. Please send any further questions by email to: mail@blacksbooks.ca
