From September 1, 2023. The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in Ukraine is moving to a new style of celebration. The OCU is also thinking about switching to a new calendar, but is waiting for the decision of the Council of Bishops, which is to be held in May. Metropolitan Epiphany spoke about this in an interview with Gazeta. ua.

" The implementation of this reform, first of all, will make it possible to switch to a more accurate calendar and avoid a gradual shift in immovable holidays in the future,"

He also announced that more and more parishes are moving to the OCU.

“Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian attack, more than a thousand parishes have joined the OCU, about the same number had switched over the years before. That is now more than 2 thousand. This process continues, and news is constantly coming in that in a particular region, another community has decided to join the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.

Often I myself meet with representatives of such communities and priests who supported their flock,"
