They bestowed upon Bishop Lubomyr Husar of the Kyiv-Vyshhorod Exarchate extraor- dinary powers and assigned him the title of auxiliary bishop to the arch- bishop-major of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church, a decision that was confirmed by the Vatican. Many in the Ukrainian Greek- Catholic Church’s laity have thought it only a matter of time until Bishop Husar was asked to take charge of the Church. Cardinal Myroslav Ivan Lubachivsky, major archbishop of the Church, who is 82 years old, has been ailing and has kept a low profile for the last three years. During cele- brations of the 400th anniversary of the Union of Brest (Berestia), which took place a week before the Synod of Bishops, he failed to appear at Roman Woronowycz many of the events. Most notable was his absence at the October 13 Cardinal Achille Silvestrini, Archbishop Michael Bzdel and other hierarchs celebrate liturgy in Lviv’s Freedom Square. archepiscopal divine liturgy in Freedom Square.

  • Bidding Farewell to Archbishop and Metropolitan-Emeritus Stephen Sulyk (1924-2020)
    Bidding Farewell to Archbishop and Metropolitan-Emeritus Stephen Sulyk (1924-2020) Bidding Farewell to Archbishop and Metropolitan-Emeritus Stephen Sulyk (1924-2020) With natural sadness but also with Paschal hope the Philadelphia Archeparchy bids farewell to Metropolitan-Emeritus Stephen Sulyk. As a priest and bishop,he was a dedicated minister of the Lord in the Archeparchy for 65 years since his priestly ordination in 1955. We thank God for his life and raise prayers of gratitude for his service. The coronavirus pandemic, to which evidently the Archbishop succumbed at the age of 95, does not allow us to come together for the funeral. Thus, we are called to unite in prayer and spirit from our homes. When the danger for our clergy and faithful passes we will celebrate a requiem in which all can participate. In the name of our deceased Metropolitan, I thank all the bishops, clergy, religious, and faithful that worked with him over the many decades of his service in America. He is grateful to all of you, as he himself expressed during the joyful, warm celebration of his 95th birthday in October held at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. He appreciated the collegiality shown by Roman Catholic bishops, clergy and communities, as well as the fellowship shared with our Orthodox brothers and sisters. He valued the decades of cooperation with various community organizations. We are most grateful for the services and kindnesses rendered to the Metropolitan by Ukrainian and Roman Catholic chaplains, religious, and laypersons during the two decades of his retirement. Especially I would like to thank Carol and Michael Nunno for the genuine friendship and singular service that you offered to Archbishop Stephen.

The origins of the Ukrainian Catholic Church lie in the time when much of present-day Ukraine formed part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was then, in 1596, that for a variety of reasons, many of the Orthodox bishops of the region decided to accept communion with Rome.(1) After almost four hundred years the resulting Union of Brest remains a contentious subject.(2) The new "Uniate" Church formally recognized the Pope as Head of the Church, but maintained its traditional Byzantine or eastern rite, calendar, its right to ordain married men as priests, and its right to elect its own bishops.

    1 4 Podlachia in north-east Poland has a considerable number of small towns, which had a great importance in the past, but with the passage of time, their role decreased due to political and economic changes. Until the Second World War, they had cultural, religious and linguistic diversity, with residents of Polish, Russian, Belarussian, German, Jewish and Tatar origin. After the war, some of them were gone, but their heritage was preserved. One of them is Supraśl, a small town near Białystok, capitol of the Podlachia region, north-eastern Poland. The best known monument of the town is the Suprasl Lavra (The Monastery 5 of the Annunciation), one of six Eastern Orthodox monasteries for men in Poland. Since September 2007 it is on Unesco’s Memory of the World list. It was founded in the 16th century by Aleksander Chodkiewicz, Marshall of the Great Duchy of Lithuania. In 1516, the Church of the Annunciation was consecrated. Some years later the monastery was expanded with the addition of the second church dedicated to the 2 Resurrection of Our Lord, which housed the monastery catacombs. Over time, the Supraśl Lavra became an important site of Orthodox culture. In 1609, the Monastery accepted the Union of Brest in the Polish- Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Basilian Order (Unitas) took over its administration. In 1796, Prussian authorities confiscated the holdings of the monastery after the third Partition of Poland. 6 7 Nevertheless, it continued to play an important role in the religious life of the region as the seat of a newly created eparchy for those devout Ruthenians under Prussian rule, starting in 1797 and lasting until it fell under Russian rule after the Treaties of Tilsit in 1807.

Moscow had delayed agreeing to a date, and even now continues its attempts to set the summit’s terms.

    The Holy See MESSAGE OF JOHN PAUL II TO CARDINAL LUBOMYR HUSAR ON THE OCCASION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE UKRAINIAN GREEK CATHOLIC CHURCH To my Venerable Brother Cardinal Lubomyr Husar Major Archbishop of Lviv for the Ukrainians 1. On the occasion of the important assembly of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church which is taking place in Lviv from 30 June to 6 July, a year after my unforgettable Pastoral Visit to this country, I would like to address my cordial greeting to you, to my Brothers in the Episcopate and to all the participants. The theme chosen for your meeting is especially significant and of great importance: "Christ, Source of the Rebirth of the Ukrainian People". With fraternal affection I join this beloved Ecclesial Community in invoking the Holy Spirit, so that he may grant you a deeper knowledge of Christ and that your assembly's work may effectively imbue the faithful with new courage in witnessing to the message of salvation. In my first Encyclical Redemptor hominis, I pointed out that Christ must occupy the central place in the life of the Church and of every Christian. Indeed, he is the Redeemer of man, the Redeemer of the world. In Christ and through Christ "God has revealed himself fully to mankind and has definitively drawn close to it; at the same time, in Christ and through Christ man has acquired full awareness of his dignity, of the heights to which he is raised, of the surpassing worth of his own humanity, and of the meaning of his existence" (n.
