The Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC), Patriarch Sviatoslav (Shevchuk) participates in the XIII General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops held in the Vatican under the title “New Evangelization For Passing the Faith.” The event is attended by ten heads of the Eastern Catholic Churches. So reported the Information Department of UGCC.

The synod is also attended by two bishops, Apostolic Administrator of the Stryi Eparchy and  Apostolic Visitator for  Greek  Catholic Ukrainians in Italy and Spain, Bishop Dionisii  (Liakhovych).

According to  Patriarch Sviatoslav, the assembly is a very important event in the life of the Catholic Church as “in this way, the Most Holy Father is governing the Church together with the bishops.”

“This in its turn is an example of bishops’ collegiality according to which the Universal Church lives and acts today,” explained the primate.
