During the presentation, the Head of the UGCC thanked the initiators and creators of this great and important project for promoting the personality of Patriarch Josyf. “The figure of Patriarch Josyf Slipyj is unknown today. It is our duty to study as much as possible his great heritage and to present it to the modern generation. Through your sacrificial work on the films "The Reefs" and "His Beatitude," thousands of believers from our Church and people of good through cinema will have rediscovered this magnificent figure, my glorious predecessor," the letter reads.

In particular, His Beatitude Sviatoslav thanked Pavlo Kazantsev for the important mission that “Zhyve TV” carries out in the recent history of the UGCC, as Pavlo is the producer of this media project.
