St. Volodymyr's Parish

The Patriarchal Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ in Kyiv "is a visual sign of the unity and independence of our Church both in Ukraine and far beyond its borders,” said the Head and Father of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church, His Beatitude Sviatoslav on August 18th in the sermon during the International All-Church Pilgrimage on the occasion of the blessing of the Patriarchal Cathedral and the celebration of the 1025th anniversary of the Baptism of Ukraine-Rus.

The choice of Saint Volodymyr to accept Christianity played a significant role in the development and future direction of Kyivan Rus which eased the integration of people who lived within its boundaries both at that time and in the following epochs.
