  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Adult Catechism Class January 25, 2016 the Ukrainian Catholic
    Adult Catechism Class January 25, 2016 The Ukrainian Catholic Church in our Modern World Part 1: Scripture Readings: Matthew 28:19-20: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 9:37-38: Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. “Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” John 10:14-16: I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. Part 2: What is the Ukrainian Catholic Church? In simplistic terms, the Ukrainian Catholic Church (also known as the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church) is a part of the Catholic Church that observes the same traditions as does Eastern Orthodoxy. It is, however, very much part of the Catholic Church. The head of the Universal Catholic Church, and hence the Ukrainian Catholic Church, is Pope Francis. The Ukrainian Catholic Church world-wide is governed internally by the Synod of Ukrainian Catholic Bishops; its highest ranking cleric is Patriarch (Major Archbishop) Sviatoslav Shevchuk.

  • A Turbulent Year for Ukraine Urbulent Was the Way to Describe 2009 for Ukraine, Which Plunged Into Financial Crisis
    No. 3 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JANUARY 17, 2010 5 2009: THE YEAR IN REVIEW A turbulent year for Ukraine urbulent was the way to describe 2009 for Ukraine, which plunged into financial crisis. No other European country suffered as much as TUkraine, whose currency was devalued by more than 60 percent since its peak of 4.95 hrv per $1 in August 2008. In addition, the country’s industrial production fell by 31 percent in 2009. Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko con- fronted the challenge of minimizing the crisis fallout, while at the same time campaigning for the 2010 presi- dential elections. Her critics attacked her for pursuing populist policies, such as increasing wages and hiring more government staff, when the state treasury was broke as early as the spring. Ms. Tymoshenko herself admitted that her gov- ernment would not have been able to make all its pay- ments without the help of three tranches of loans, worth approximately $10.6 billion, provided by the International Monetary Fund. Her critics believe that instead of borrowing money, Ms. Tymoshenko should have been introducing radical reforms to the Ukrainian economy, reducing government waste, eliminating out- dated Soviet-era benefits and trimming the bureaucracy. The year began with what is becoming an annual tra- Offi cial Website of Ukraine’s President dition in Ukraine – a natural gas conflict provoked by the government of Russian Federation Prime Minister President Viktor Yushchenko and Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko at the heated February 10 meeting of Vladimir Putin.
