PHILADELPHIA – Over 2,500 people gathered inside the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception on Tuesday, June 4, awaiting with much anticipation the enthronement of the seventh Ukrainian Catholic metropolitan-archbishop of the United States, the Most Rev. Borys Gudziak.
Bishop Borys, 58, a native of Syracuse, N.Y., was recommended by the Synod of Ukrainian Catholic Bishops in September 2018, and appointed as metropolitan and archbishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia by Pope Francis on February 18 to officially take canonical possession of the archeparchy on June 4.
