“I really want to ask everyone not to give me any gifts. Please make all the gifts you would like to give me as a donation to the Coronavirus Foundation, which was founded by our Church,” says the UGCC Primate and adds: "It will be the greatest gift for me."

His Beatitude Sviatoslav also states that knowing that someone prays for him is very important to him: “Prayer is an invaluable treasure and gift. Therefore, if you talk about me with the Lord God, about my infirmities, my needs, then the Lord God will give me at the right moment exactly what I will need. Therefore, my request to you: pray for me!”

We would like to remind you that today, May 4, at 7:00 pm, Zhyve TV on YouTube channel or its page on Facebook will show an interview with His Beatitude Sviatoslav on the occasion of his 50th birthday.
