Head of UGCC says when Church will finish building Patriarchate
We are a Patriarchal Church. The Patriarchate is not granted. Patriarchate is a certain way to be together for our Church, which exists in Ukraine and around the world. When we learn to be together as one Church, to overcome what separates us, each such time we become more of a Patriarchal Church.
The Patriarch said it during his meeting with young people in Zarvanytsia on Saturday, July 13, 2019, answering a question about the Patriarchate of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.
"When you really know what your Church is like; when you feel the same pain as our faithful in Argentina, and you are happy with what your brothers and sisters in Australia enjoy, you will be the children of the Patriarchal Church. Therefore, we are building our Patriarchate," said His Beatitude Sviatoslav. It is reported by the Information Department of the UGCC.
