  • June 12, 2015 Protocol Number: 96/15 S Dear Brothers and Sisters
    June 12, 2015 Protocol Number: 96/15 S Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: The Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Saint Josaphat in Parma has had its finances audited by an outside accounting firm, Simic CPA & Co., since 2011, which produces the financial statements of the Eparchy. I am pleased to publish the latest financial statements, for the year 2014, on the Eparchy’s website to help the faithful gain a clear understanding of the Eparchy’s financial state. I am also publishing alongside the financial statements a letter from Father Steven Paliwoda, the Eparchy’s Financial Officer, to explain many items in the financial statements in detail. I encourage you to read Father Steven’s letter in conjunction with the financial statements. It is important for the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Saint Josaphat in Parma to be a good steward of the gifts entrusted to it, and transparent about its finances. Having our finances audited by an independent accounting firm, and publishing our financial statements online and sending them to all of our parishes, puts the Eparchy amongst the most financially transparent Catholic dioceses in the world. In the same way, it is also very important for each parish to be transparent in its finances and accountable to the faithful, who support the Church and for whom the Church exists to serve. I would like to make the following general observations about the financial state of the Eparchy. The Eparchy’s Financial Situation Continues to Improve, but is Still Precarious. During the years 2011-2013, the Eparchy paid about half of its debts.

    Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of St. Josaphat in Parma Catholic Home Missions supports the Eparchy of St. Josaphat with grants for basic operations, seminary and priestly education, and youth ministry. The Ukrainian Catholic Church is one of several Eastern Catholic Churches that enjoy the same dignity, rights, and obligations as the Latin Church. Eastern Catholic Churches have distinctive liturgical and legal systems that reflect the national or ethnic character of their region of origin. Eparchies and archeparchies in the Eastern Catholic Church are akin to dioceses and archdioceses in the Latin Church. Bishop Danylo describes the first wave of Ukrainian Catholics who immigrated to the United States in the 1880s. “People came from The Ukrainian Eparchy of St. Josaphat supports ow do a bishop, 35 priests, and Galicia in western Ukraine to work in the tens of thousands 16 deacons minister to more than coal mines and steel mills.

Slava Isusu Christu! Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, during these uncertain days of fear and anxiety over the COVID- 19 (coronavirus) pandemic, I would like to reach out to you and remind you of something that is certain: the love and support of the Lord for you and your loved ones, and of the Church and your parish for you and your family. As you know, in response to the global outbreak of pandemic COVID19 virus, our Bishop, Most Rev. Bohdan Danylo (along with all bishops of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in the United States), has temporarily suspended all assembly of the faithful. Divine Liturgies and other services will still be celebrated by me, Fr. Ihor Kasiyan, but in private. We will post on the church website (www.standrewucc.org) all Liturgy Intentions as they are currently scheduled so that our faithful can pray at home for their loved ones. With instruction from Bishop Danylo, our church will be open for private prayer and reflection at St. Andrew Ukrainian Catholic Church: TUESDAYS 6:00pm to 7:00pm SATURDAYS 12:00nn to 1:00pm I am available at any hour to hear confessions and to visit families and loved ones, especially those that are sick or in the hospital.
