February 5 marks the third anniversary of the repose of Protopresbyter Daniel Hubiak who entered eternal rest in 2021 at age 94. During the nearly seven decades of his priesthood, Father Daniel had served most notably as Chancellor of the Orthodox Church in America (1973-88) and as OCA Representative to the Moscow Patriarchate (1992-2001). Over his long years of service, Father Daniel participated in or witnessed many significant historical events in the life of the Church, including the reception of the Tomos of Autocephaly in 1970, as a member of the OCA delegation that traveled to Moscow; the glorification of Saint Herman of Alaska in Kodiak; and the uncovering of the relics of Saint Tikhon in Russia. In his administrative work for the Church, he is the only person to have occupied all three officer positions (Chancellor, Secretary, Treasurer). Photos highlighting events in Father Daniel’s life appear below.
