      Together, we can strengthen the future of our Church.

      Join Metropolitan Borys Gudziak and friends of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia for the 2026 Reporting & Benefit Soirées. Learn how your support transforms lives, sustains vital ministries, and helps our Church continue its mission of evangelization, service, and accompaniment.

      Double the Impact of Your Support

      Thanks to the generosity of two anonymous donors, every dollar raised through the Soirées will be matched, up to $200,000, with the matching funds supporting the Healing of Wounds of the War in Ukraine Fund.

      Together, we can make twice the impact.

      Join us. Give generously. Help us grow the Good News and bring healing and hope to Ukraine.

      Your Support Builds the Future of Our Church. Proceeds from the 2026 Soirées support the New Priest and Personnel Initiative.

      Our Church's mission depends on people — priests, religious, lay leaders, and professionals who accompany the faithful, strengthen our parishes, develop ministries, and proclaim the Gospel.

      Through the New Priest and Personnel Initiative, the Archeparchy is investing in the people who will serve our Church today and for generations to come.

      Your participation helps us grow the Good News.

      A sneak peak at our silent auction

      Our Silent Auction will bring together Ukrainian art, craftsmanship, faith, history, and culture. Today, we’re sharing just four of the special lots you’ll have a chance to bid on:

      “𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝” — Lyuba Yatskiv A framed, hand-signed print by Ukrainian artist and iconographer Lyuba Yatskiv. The original work was created in Lviv in 2021 using acrylic, white gilding, and gessoed wood. Donated by ICONART Gallery, Lviv, Ukraine.

      “𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐨” 𝐍𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 — Ptashka Studio by Olenka Labunka A distinctive piece featuring black onyx, brass, coral, lapis lazuli, turquoise, traditional brass pendants known as shelesty, and Hutsul cross pendants known as zgardas. Donated by Olenka Labunka.

      “𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚” — Sophiya Bilyk An original icon created in Lviv in 2023 using egg tempera on gessoed wood by Ukrainian artist and iconographer Sophiya Bilyk. Donated by ICONART Gallery, Lviv, Ukraine.

      “𝐀𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦 — 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐈𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐫” A framed 2025 exhibition of Ukrposhta stamps featuring the ArtArmor project, in which icons representing Ukraine’s 27 territories were created on armor plates bearing visible bullet or shrapnel marks—plates that once protected the lives of Ukrainian soldiers. Donated by Andrew and Christine Fylypovych, Philadelphia, U.S.

      And this is only a preview. More unique Silent Auction lots will be waiting for you at both Soirées!

      Join us for an evening of community, culture, and generosity — and perhaps take home something truly special while supporting the New Priest and Personnel Initiative.
