Today, the city of Sheptytsky welcomes with great respect the Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, His Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk.
His Beatitude was greeted by the young residents of Sheptytsky, the rector of the Church of St. Josaphat Mykhailo Nyskohuz, the wife of a Defender Lyudmyla Yatsynych, and the widow of a Hero Liliya Shevchuk. The city mayor Andriy Zalivsky presented His Beatitude Sviatoslav with a unique plate featuring the quote by Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky \”The world perishes for the lack of love\”. This piece was created by local craftsman Serhiy Ivashkiv in the ancient traditions of Sokal ceramics.
