Ukrainian Catholic Church, Byzantine rite, Catechism 

The Catechism of the Ukrainian Catholic Church Christ – Our Pascha is “both a profession and an explanation of our Church’s faith in the Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This faith emerged from listening to the Gospel of Christ, which—according to tradition—first resounded in the lands of Rus-Ukraine through the preaching of Saint Andrew the First-Called. This same Good News echoed onwards through the mission of the holy apostles to the Slavs, Cyril and Methodius, and was ultimately ratified in the Baptism of Rus-Ukraine during the reign of Volodymyr the Great, Equal-to-the-Apostles. The Word of the Gospel found its response of faith in the hearts of those who listened. Thus Christ’s Church spread throughout Kyivan Rus. This new Christian tradition—with the appropriate appellation of Kyivan—became a pearl in the Universal Church’s treasury of faith. Countless generations of Christians, of Ukrainian as well as other cultures, were raised in this tradition.” The Catechism is published by the Synod of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church and the Commission for the Catechism of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. It first appeared in Ukrainian in 2012, and was published in English in 2016. Every effort has been made in the English edition to retain as nearly as possible the precise phrasing of the original Ukrainian language second edition.
