We will celebrate thanksgiving for him in prayers, in word and with acts of intimacy. For those of us whose father has passed, we will pray for his soul and celebrate good memories of him. We will reflect on how a father shares in the Fatherhood of God. Every father shares in the gift of giving life and then nurturing it through limitless care and kindness. A father is actively challenged to preserve life and to foster fruitful family life. He fulfills this with prayer and trust in God the Father, and with providing good example in love, words and action to all who look to him for direction and instruction. Let our heart and mind be filled with gratitude for the love and inspiring example given to you and me by our earthly father. Pray for your father, and for the courage to yourself be a person who nurtures and preserves life in others. Ask God for strength and inspiration to be the caring father figure you are called to be in your family, in your parish, in your community. Dedicate the actions in your life to inspire yourself and others to be better persons, the person each of us are called to be in the image of God. Jesus spoke of God as Father in his teaching. He taught humanity to pray, “Our Father, who art in heaven…” The first record of Jesus speaking is his response, “Do you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?” The last words that Jesus spoke from the cross were, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit”. Jesus spoke to God naturally and simply, like a man to his friend and like a child to his father. He simply addressed God knowing that he would listen sympathetically and kindly, hearing his requests and giving him guidance. Cultivate that same kind of intimate relationship of prayer with your heavenly Father. His love surpasses all human loves. The greatest need you and I have is a vital, personal relationship with our heavenly Father. Doing this will enable us to nurture and preserve life as children of our heavenly Father and of our earthly father. Congratulations and God’s immense blessings upon all fathers and their families as we gratefully celebrate Father’s Day! God grant to all fathers many blessed and happy years! To the souls of the loving departed fathers, God grant eternal rest! JUNE 9, 2013 3 Infused With the Grace of Holy Spirit – Deacon Walter Pasicznyk On Pentecost Sunday, May 19th, amidst rainy weather and blossoming greenery, Subdeacon Walter Pasicznyk was elevated to the Order of Deacon by the hands of Metropolitan Stefan Soroka. The Ordination Liturgy took place at St. Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Church in Bethlehem, PA, and was well attended by parishioners, friends, and family of Deacon Walter, who came to offer their prayers in joyous celebration of the Descent of the Holy Spirit and the ordination of Deacon Walter. It is very meaningful and blessed to witness the elevation of a Deacon on the Feast of Pentecost. On this day, the faithful joyfully celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles of Jesus Christ, which was the fulfillment of the promised coming of the Paraclete that would fill the Apostles and enable them to spread the word of the Good News of the Gospel of Christ to all the world.

  • 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.
