Congratulations Metropolitan Borys Gudziak!
On August 23, 2025, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy awarded the high state honors on the occasion of Ukraine’s Independence Day to Metropolitan Borys Gudziak, who received the Order of Merit, First Class. The Order is for a significant personal contribution to strengthening interstate sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, charitable activity, and promoting the Ukrainian state in the world. The faithful of the Philadelphia Archeparchy warmly congratulate their Archbishop on this distinction and thank him for his devoted spiritual leadership and commitment to Ukraine during these difficult times.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the generous anonymous donor for the beautiful chalice, diskos, asterisk, and paten gifted to our church. May God reward your generosity and bless you richly for many happy years!
Ongoing through December 2025:

The U.S.-Ukraine Foundation has embraced the Forget-me-not flower as a symbol of Ukrainian children stolen by Russia—and of all victims of Putin’s brutal war.
Thousands of children have been torn from their families, told their homeland has abandoned them. We want them—and the world—to know the truth: they will never be forgotten.
The Ukrainian government and international partners are working tirelessly to bring these children home. But the abductions are just one part of the wider tragedy. Millions of Ukrainians continue to suffer under Russian aggression.
But the plight of abducted children is only one part of the larger tragedy of Putin’s war. We also stand with and fight for all victims of Russian aggression. The Forget-me-not serves as a symbol of remembrance, justice, and hope for all who have suffered.
