Dear Reverend Clergy and UOL members,
This past week proved to be a challenging with our chosen Convention hotel closing due to Hurricane Helene damage. It added more work to our plates to be able to find a comparable hotel that could host us. Thankfully, we were able to find one. We have a contract with the Westshore Grand (westshoregrand.com) in Tampa, Florida. Our room rate is $139/night for single or double. The room rates apply for 3 days before and 3 days after our Convention Dates: July 23-27, 2025.
The Westshore Grand is only 3 miles from Tampa International Airport and offers a shuttle. It is 5 miles to Downtown Tampa, and 15 miles to the beaches. They offer Marriot points, free Wifi, complimentary parking (should you choose to rent a car), and it has a pool on the 9th floor. The hotel has Hotel Dining and is within walking distance of PFChangs, Maggianos, Seasons 52, Besito Mexican, Panera Bread, Fresh Kitchen, and Starbucks.
Outside of the change in hotel, all other Convention events remain the same. We will have the Registration form up as soon as we tack down a food and beverage package. We are working as fast as possible and really appreciate your patience. This will not affect in any way the integrity of the Convention. You will be there, so it will be great!
As we get the information, we will let you know about it. Again, your patience while we make necessary adjustments has been appreciated greatly. Thank you for your grace in this matter.
With that, stay tuned for more information very very soon!
With Love in Christ,
Matushka Laryssa Charest

UOL MISSION STATEMENT
The Ukrainian Orthodox League is a national volunteer organization of members in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA, who are committed to promoting the Orthodox Faith, supporting the Church, developing the potential of our youth and their active participation in the life of the Church, and preserving Ukrainian heritage and culture.
WHAT IS THE UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX LEAGUE?
The Ukrainian Orthodox League ("UOL" or "the League") is a vital organ of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the United States of America. 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 Voloddymyr Bukata formulated the organization and the Ukrainian Orthodox League was incorporated in the State of New Jersey in 1948.
