History Helps Us Understand The Past — and The Past Helps Us To More Deeply Understand The Present.
The Archdiocese of Philadelphia announces a new multimedia project , “The Church of Witness: Ukrainian Catholic History with Metropolitan Borys Gudziak” (in English).
This project is dedicated to the history of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. Over the coming weeks and months, we will share our testimony of how God is at work among His people in Ukraine and beyond, and how this history helps us better understand current events.
Our guide on this journey will be Metropolitan Borys Gudziak, a Church historian, who will help us open new horizons in understanding our spiritual, cultural, and historical heritage.

During the fall assembly of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in Baltimore, Metropolitan Archbishop Borys Gudziak of the Philadelphia Archeparchy was elected chair of the Commission on International Justice and Peace. The vote for the chairs of six commissions took place on November 12, with Metropolitan Borys receiving the support of 70% of the bishops.
The Commission’s mission is to promote and uphold the social teaching of the Catholic Church, particularly regarding solidarity, human development, human rights, religious freedom, and issues of war and peace. Following the election, Metropolitan Borys will serve for one year as chairman-elect before beginning a three-year term as chair. Previously, from 2022 to 2025, he chaired the USCCB’s Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development.

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.
