The B.C. Catholic has a story from CCN's Ottawa bureau chief, Deborah Gyapong, which shows the admiration Ukrainian Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk has for his predecessor Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky:
The primate of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, described his predecessor Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky as a model of sacrificial love that every generation needs to discover.

Archbishop Shevchuk visited Canada Apr. 24-26 as part of a delegation of religious leaders representing all the major religious faiths in Ukraine. He spoke at a Symposium Apr. 25 at the Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies honoring Metropolitan Sheptytsky’s legacy during World War II on the theme “Ethical Action in Extreme Conditions.”
