Give from the Heart for the Inauguration of Ministry of Archbishop Borys Gudziak

Glory to Jesus Christ!

The Ukrainian Catholic community in the United States is rejoicing at the news that Pope Francis has appointed a new Metropolitan-Archbishop for the Archeparchy of Philadelphia on February 18, 2019.

A native of Syracuse, NY, Bishop Borys Gudziak, will be formally enthroned on Tuesday, June 4, 2019 in the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Philadelphia, PA. You are cordially invited to join us for this moment of prayer, communion and outreach, uniting bishops, clergy, religious and faithful as brothers and sisters in Christ.

I am writing to you today to ask you to help us raise money for the start of Archbishop Borys’s ministry. An eight-day period of events is planned for his enthronement in thanksgiving to God for providing our Archeparchy with a new spiritual shepherd. This program named “Heart to Heart” will take place in Philadelphia, PA and in Washington, DC from June 2nd to 9th. It should spiritually encourage participants in an enduring way and be capacity building for the archeparchy:

•Praying for the Descent of the Holy Spirit to foster our relationship with God and our neighbor— “Heart to Heart”;

•Promoting and nurturing relations within the Archeparchy and Metropolia, with the Archdiocese in Philadelphia, the city’s Ukrainian-Americans and with the local community at large, with our brothers and sisters from other eparchies, countries, rites, and Churches;

•Engaging the youth “heart to heart,” putting young people at the center of the Church’s mission. Recognizing the rich legacy of our ancestors and handing it on, enhanced, to a new generation.

Another event planned is a Youth Day on Saturday, June 8th at the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in Philadelphia. We are asking youth from the Philadelphia Archeparchy as well as those in neighboring eparchies to come join us for a day of prayer and fun!

“YOU MAKE THE clouds YOUR CHARIOT, YOU WALK ON THE WINGS Kite Activity OF THE wind...” Can you see the wind? Can you smell it? Can you hear it? Sometimes, if it’s really powerful you hear the things that the wind has blown around. You see things that are carried away by the wind, but you can’t see the wind itself. For these reasons, the wind is often used to illustrate to us just what the Holy Spirit behaves like. You can not see, hear, smell, or taste His presence, but you can feel Him near and sense the effects of the Spirit upon the things He comes into contact with.
