The stories about the leader of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church continue. The B.C. Catholic has a story of Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk celebrating a moleben at Holy Eucharist Cathedral and then being awarded the "Spiritual Captaincy" by parishioners at a banquet:
The head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church gathered with a number of bishops from other parts of the world, which signified the global unity of the Ukrainian Catholic Church. He told the faithful in attendance not to be afraid because the Church is with them.
"Tomorrow starts a new liturgical year," Archeparch Shevchuk said, noting the new year is historical for the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Canada.
