Philadelphia Archeparchy Joins “Philadelphia Stands with Ukraine” Rally

On Sunday, January 30 representatives of the Ukrainian, Belarusian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Polish, Estonian, Georgian, Uzbek, Jewish, and Turkish diasporas of Greater Philadelphia assembled near the Art Museum steps in support of Ukraine and against the occupation of Belarus.

Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick and City of Philadelphia Councilmember-at-Large David Oh attended the demonstration in person. Messages were read from other elected officials including Brendan Boyle, Madeleine Dean, and Dwight Evans.

“Action in support of Ukraine showed how strong we are when we are united! Young and old generations, representatives of the diaspora and citizens of Ukraine living in Philadelphia and far beyond, representatives of the diaspora from Belarus, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Poland, the Baltic States–all united in support of Ukraine!”, noted Honorary Consul of Ukraine in Philadelphia Iryna Mazur.
 

Eugene Luciw, president of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, addressed those gathered by emphasizing that the U.S. should give direct and immediate support to Ukraine.

Priests and the faithful of the Archeparchy took part in the event. Father Ruslan Borovyj, administrator of Saint Nicholas Parish in Fairmount, concluded the event with a short address and a prayer. He noted three key ways to support Ukraine: provide financial and material support, be informed, and pray.
