Sviatoslav Shevchuk, Major Archbishop of Kyiv-Halych since 2011, leads the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, serving 4–5 million Eastern Catholics with the Byzantine Rite. A youthful leader (born 1970), he has guided Ukraine’s Catholics through conflict since 2014, fostering national identity and ecumenical dialogue. His 2024 visits to Canada and appeals for peace highlight his global influence, making him a symbol of Eastern Catholicism’s resilience after Soviet suppression (1946–1991).
