The All-Church Council of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church devoted to "Emigration, Settlement and Global Unity of the UGCC" was to be held on August 26-29, 2020 in Lviv, however, given the pandemic of COVID-19, it was postponed to the second half of 2021.

His Beatitude Sviatoslav stated this on July 9, 2020, during a regular online meeting with members of the Secretariat of the seventh session of the Patriarchal Council of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

The head of the UGCC expressed a desire to meet periodically in an online format to continue working on the preparation of the seventh session of the Council. According to him, the main point of the activity is staying in contact with dioceses and exarchates of the world.

Another topic of the online meeting was the question of the life and work of the Church in the current conditions of the post-coronation world. His Beatitude Sviatoslav urged to think about this together with the Synodal Working Group on the development of the UGCC's Pastoral Plan.
