JUNE 2, 2019 4 Archeparchy News The Coat of Arms of Archbishop and Metropolitan Borys Gudziak
The coat uses a laconic modern style reflecting the semiotics of a contemporary logo.
The Trinitarian, Christocentric, Eucharistic, and Old-Kyivan accents are clearly discernible. The coat of arms is not in the form of a militaristic shield, but of a chalice as symbol of the Pascal bloodless sacrifice.
The trident, the main element, is a sign of St. Volodymyr the Great’s acceptance in 988 of the faith in the Triune God and symbolizes the fullness of Divinity. Its crimson color represents the sacrifice of Christ, the martyrs, and wine of the Eucharistic.
Gold is the color of Divinity and of bread. The Son of God becomes man and sheds his blood, accepting death on the cross to witness in this world to God’s eternal love and glory.
The cross in the center symbolizes the Savior’s Easter victory. Through the Cross – to the Resurrection. This devotion to Christ and the Cross is shown by the princes and passion- bearers Sts. Borys and Hlib, sons of Volodymyr, representatives of the first generation of the baptism of Rus’-Ukraine, and the first saints canonized on Kyivan land. Their bowed heads – vivid fraternal benevolence – exemplify an interpersonal relationship of harmony, peace, and joy, reflecting the interpersonal love in the Holy Trinity.
The motto Ευχαριστώ (“thank you” in Greek) stands for both the Eucharistic sacrifice and gratitude for the grace and generosity of God.

Give from the Heart for the Inauguration of Ministry of Archbishop Borys Gudziak
Glory to Jesus Christ!
The Ukrainian Catholic community in the United States is rejoicing at the news that Pope Francis has appointed a new Metropolitan-Archbishop for the Archeparchy of Philadelphia on February 18, 2019.
A native of Syracuse, NY, Bishop Borys Gudziak, will be formally enthroned on Tuesday, June 4, 2019 in the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Philadelphia, PA. You are cordially invited to join us for this moment of prayer, communion and outreach, uniting bishops, clergy, religious and faithful as brothers and sisters in Christ.
I am writing to you today to ask you to help us raise money for the start of Archbishop Borys’s ministry. An eight-day period of events is planned for his enthronement in thanksgiving to God for providing our Archeparchy with a new spiritual shepherd. This program named “Heart to Heart” will take place in Philadelphia, PA and in Washington, DC from June 2nd to 9th. It should spiritually encourage participants in an enduring way and be capacity building for the archeparchy:
•Praying for the Descent of the Holy Spirit to foster our relationship with God and our neighbor— “Heart to Heart”;
•Promoting and nurturing relations within the Archeparchy and Metropolia, with the Archdiocese in Philadelphia, the city’s Ukrainian-Americans and with the local community at large, with our brothers and sisters from other eparchies, countries, rites, and Churches;
•Engaging the youth “heart to heart,” putting young people at the center of the Church’s mission. Recognizing the rich legacy of our ancestors and handing it on, enhanced, to a new generation.

Another event planned is a Youth Day on Saturday, June 8th at the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in Philadelphia. We are asking youth from the Philadelphia Archeparchy as well as those in neighboring eparchies to come join us for a day of prayer and fun!
The enthronement, the Youth Day, and the other community-building activities all have costs associated with them. Please find it in your heart to give generously to the Archeparchy of Philadelphia for the inauguration of ministry of Archbishop Borys Gudziak.

JUNE 2, 2019 44 Catechism Liturgical Vestments of the Bishop The outer liturgical vestment of the bishop is the sakkos (from the Greek, meaning sackcloth). It symbolizes the authority of the bishop—the servant of Christ—to lead God’s people by the example of repentance. Over the sakkos the bishop wears the omophorion (from the Greek meaning to carry on the shoulder). This is a sign that as a good shepherd following the example of Christ, the bishop cares for his spiritual flock and seeks out the lost sheep (see Mt 18:12). The epigonation (from the Greek meaning on the knee), a stiff diamond-shaped cloth worn by the bishop on his right side, indicates the “spiritual sword” which is God’s Word (see Eph 6:17). It is a sign of the bishop’s teaching authority. On his head the bishop wears a mitre (from the Greek, meaning headband) which indicates the spiritual authority that he receives from the heavenly King.
To the bishop’s emblems belong also the staff, the panagia, and the mantle. The staff is a sign of pastoral service, which entails leading and defending the flock. The enkolpion (from the Greek, meaning on the breast) or panagia (from the Greek, meaning all-holy, referring to the Mother of God) is a round icon of the Savior or the Mother of God. The bishop wears it on his breast as a sign of his fervent and public confession of the faith. The bishop wears a mantia (cape) as a sign that he is wholly consecrated to God and to sacrificial service to the Church. It is characterized by tablets (images of the Old and New Testaments), from which stream colored ribbons (called rivers)—signs of consecration to God and the mission to teach, sanctify, and lead the People of God.
``In our tradition, the liturgical vestments of the sacred ministers are `of different colors, depending on the nature of the celebration. White `or gold vestments are used for feasts of the Lord, blue for the Mother of `God, green for Pentecost, and deep red (or violet) are used for Great Lent `and funeral services. Christ, Our Pascha, 637-639
