C-RS NATIONAL CAPITAL CHAPTER
National Capital Chapter President Speaks at Patronage
Byzantine Catholic Church
On 9 January 2005 Tom Brenzovich,
President C-RS National Capital Chapter was the guest
speaker at the Patronage of the Mother of God Byzantine
Catholic Church in Arbutus Maryland. The event was
sponsored by the Patronage Men’s Club who host a Sunday
morning breakfast every two months for the parish. The
breakfast is very popular among the parishioners and helps
build a wonderful sense of community at Patronage. After
breakfast, Tom presented a power point presentation that
provided an overview of “Who are the Rusyn”, the
Carpatho-Rusyn Society, and an explanation of the Rusyn
National Emblem. During breakfast, Tom presented a slide
show and a brief commentary of his recent trips to
Subcarpathia Rus’.
It certainly was an honor and privilege
for Tom to participate in this event and he thoroughly
enjoyed the hospitality and the warm reception offered by
the Patronage parishioners. As a token of their
appreciation the Patronage Men’s Club Vice President, Wayne
Roach, presented Tom with an Icon depicting St. Cyril and
St. Methodius, the Apostles of the Slavs.
Sincerely with pride in our Rusyn heritage,
Carpatho-Rusyn Society, National Capital Chapter, Board of
Directors
