Philadelphia Archeparchy Is Embarking on the Process Of PLANNING IN THE ARCHEPARCHY OF PHILADELPHIA: THE PREPARATORY PHASE Over the next year, with prayer, mutual listening and discussion, the global Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church is elaborating a general pastoral plan that should serve as a framework for the long-term pastoral plans of individual eparchies. At the same time the eparchies are engaging in their own discernment regarding where the Lord is leading them. The Preparatory Phase of the Archeparchy’s planning process anticipates certain important concrete steps that need to be taken immediately. In this phase the Archeparchy will already incorporate many elements expected to be proposed by the Pastoral Council of the UGCC by the end of 2022. As the members of the Philadelphia Archeparchy continue to share the news about our salvation in Christ, we focus on bringing the Paschal proclamation to the suffering world around us: “Christ is risen from the dead, conquering death by death, and to those in the tombs giving life.” We will best witness to this joyful and liberating message if we live it in personal relationships that reflect the love of the Triune God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit. That is the heart of the Church’s pastoral vision. We also need to address practical issues that are necessary for the Church to flourish. The goal of this preparatory phase is to position the Archeparchy for long-term pastoral planning by December 2022 while strengthening existing evangelization and pastoral initiatives and developing new ones. At the end of the preparatory phase, our Philadelphia Archeparchy should be better prepared to fulfill its mission “to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Mt. 28, 19). Text in English and Ukrainian Sunday after the Exaltation of the Cross “What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his (eternal) life?” (Mark 8:36) Throughout our earthly life, we are called to become disciples of the Lord. Our Lord tells us: “Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.” This was the message given not only to the apostles but to the crowd in general. The Lord knew that some would not accept this message. They would reject it. There would be some who would be ashamed of Jesus and His words, the Gospel message. Nonetheless, the Lord goes on to say that the Son of Man will be ashamed of (those) when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels.” This indicates to us all that there is a connection between our earthly life and eternal life. To those who busy themselves with the acquisition of earthly “goods” and do so indiscriminately can darken their soul and forfeit the divine inheritance the Lord God has acquired for us all by His Cross and Resurrection. For what can a man (person) give in exchange for his soul. Man has been created in the image and likeness of God. God is our Heavenly Father and we all are children of God. God created us having not only a body, but also a soul. The body we now have is temporal, but the soul we possess is eternal. The Lord tells us that in this life we may experience difficulties. The devil will tempt us and seek to have us fall into sin, as did Adam and Eve. But we do not have to go it alone, we can turn to the Lord God in prayer and seek His divine assistance, His manifold blessings. Each day we may face new challenges to live the Gospel message. We may have to suffer and if need be die for the Faith. It is our Holy Faith that we cling to and cherish in our times of need. We live in the faith of the Son of God Who loved us and gave Himself up on the Cross to save all of us from sin and to open wide the gates to the Heavenly Kingdom. Being a true, authentic disciple of the Lord may involve some pain and suffering. Nonetheless, we bear our daily crosses lovingly and patiently, knowing that God Who knows and sees all will one day repay all, each according to his/her deeds. The Cross was an act of self-giving, self-sacrificial Love. Jesus died, so that we all may live forever. After the Cross came the Resurrection, the victory over the powers of sin, death and evil. Christ’s Resurrection is a pledge, a promise of our own resurrection if we remain faithful to Christ and His Gospel message. Our eyes are to be fixed heavenward and not to be overly concerned about the acquisition of earthly, temporal goods, where moths and rust corrode and thieves break in and steal. Let us have compassion for one another, especially for the ”lowly” of this world – the handicap and those in need. May the Love of Christ be in one’s heart and may we be ever ready to share it with those we encounter throughout our lives. Let us make room for Christ in our daily lives, so that we may say as did St. Paul: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ Who lives in me.” (Galatians 2:20) Rev. D. George Worschak Summaries and Reports of the Archeparchial Sobors (2019-2021) We bring to your attention a document crucial to understand the structure of the Archeparchial Plan published on our webpage. These are Summaries and Reports of the Archeparchial Sobors, which took place over two years (2019-2021). Over a hundred participants discussed the challenges and future vision of the Archeparchy during live and online meetings. Thoughts, proposals, and ideas expressed at the Sobors were included in the framework document of the Synodal Group of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church “2030 Pastoral Development Strategy” and will create the basis for the Philadelphia Archeparchial Plan. This project will last several years. Its preparatory phase began in May 2021 and will last until December 2022. This document contains the following: SESSION 1 (October 28, 2019): Thematic Analysis This joint session was held at Immaculate Conception Cathedral and was attended by 194 delegates. Building on the theme of “communion-unity” proposed for the Patriarchal Sobor in 2020, the delegates were asked to reflect on positive and negative experiences of communion-unity at the parish and archeparchial levels, as well as to propose ways of strengthening communion-unity at these levels. SESSION 2 (December 7, 2019): Laity Gifts, Summary of Table Reports This joint session was held at St. Michael the Archangel’s parish in Jenkintown, PA, and was attended by 171 delegates. The focus of the session was on the role of the laity in reference to the first three elements of the Vibrant Parish program of the UGCC: Word of God-Catechesis, Liturgy and Prayer, Serving one’s neighbor (Diakonia). The delegates were asked to reflect on: “What Gifts can the laity offer to address the needs and promote the mission of the archeparchy?” in reference to the three elements. SESSION 2 (December 7, 2019): SUGGESTION BOX Also, delegates were given an opportunity to write down their proposals and submit them anonymously in a SUGGESTION BOX prepared for this purpose. In total, 198 suggestions were received from 68 individuals. SESSION 3 (November-December 2020): PRIORITIZED RESOLUTIONS / COVID-19 BREAKOUT REPORT, p. 24 In the year that followed the December 2019 session, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic the Archeparchy decided to summarize the key proposals of the first two sessions in the form of resolutions, and present them to the delegates for prioritization. As it was not possible to hold a joint session, the decision was made to hold four regional sessions, using ZOOM as a meeting platform. These regional sessions also included breakout sessions on the positive and negative impact of the pandemic, with proposals on moving forward based on the lessons learned. SESSION 4 (January 23, 2021): Summary ZOOM Session Report, p. 33 In this joint ZOOM session, the delegates were divided according to deanery and asked to: 1) Express their hopes and expectations regarding theArcheparchial Pastoral Council, 2) Propose two candidates from each deanery to form an Archeparchial Pastoral Council planning committee. Submitted by: V. Rev. Andrew T. Onuferko, S.Th.D. Sobor Secretary Philadelphia Archeparchy Sobor (2019-2021) Reports Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy and Life-Giving Cross of Our Lord God And Savior, Jesus Christ “We bow before Your Cross and we glorify Your Holy Resurrection” (September 14, 27) On the Gregorian calendar, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy and Life-Giving Cross is celebrated on September 14th. The Feast is celebrated on the Julian calendar thirteen (13) days later, on September 27th. This Feast is of ancient origin and was already established in the fourth century. St. Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great of Byzantium, went to the Holy Land in search of the true Cross of Christ. Having found the three crosses, one of Christ and the other two of the criminals on each side of Christ, the authentic Cross was determined by healings (miracles) when the individuals were touched by the Cross and prayers invoked in the Name of the Lord. The Archbishop of Jerusalem at that time had then taken the Cross of Our Lord and Savior and raised it, elevated it, for all the faithful present to see, bow and give praise and worship to the Lord God. The elevation of the Holy Cross gave them and gives us today the opportunity to reflect upon the saving Death and Resurrection of Our Lord.

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.

  • Appendices I
    Appendices I. Archival Sources Archival research for this monograph was conducted in Lviv, the former capital of Galicia, in 1983. To orient myself in the rich archival holdings of this city, I benefitted from the unpublished manuscript of Patricia K. Grimsted's forthcoming guide to Soviet Ukrainian archives and manuscript repositories' as well as from a number of published works.' Plans to use archives in Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk were frustrated, as was the plan to use the manuscript collection of the Institute of Literature of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR (in Kiev). Work in the Austrian archives in 1982 did not uncover sources of direct relevance to the subject of this monograph, but the Viennese archives remain an important and little-explored repository of historical documentation on Galician history. The richest collection of unpublished sources on the history of Galicia during the Austrian period is located in the Central State Historical Archives of the Ukrainian SSR in Lviv (U Tsentrainyi derzhavnyi istorychnyi arkhiv URSR u rn. Lvovi; abbre- viated as TsDIAL). The Central Archives have inherited the papers of various Galician government institutions and major civic organizations. Unfortunately, there is no published guide to these archives, although a number of articles describe aspects of their holdings.' The papers of the Presidium of the Galician Viceroy's Office (U Haiytske narnisnytstvo, rn. Lviv. Prezydiia) are contained in TsDIAL, fond 146, opysy 4-8 (and presumably others). Particularly valuable for this study were documents dealing with the publication and confiscation of political brochures and periodicals, including , Patricia K.
