On June 17, 2023, a “liturgy” was held in the Kharkiv Church of the OCU on the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the “archbishop” Mitrofan Butynsky, at which Bishop Ordinary of the Kharkiv-Zaporozhye diocese of the Roman Catholic Church Pavlo Goncharuk prayed. Reports the website of the Kharkiv diocese of the OCU.

As can be seen from the photo report of the event, the “bishops” of the OCU, as well as Pavel Goncharuk, signed on the title page of the liturgical Gospel. The book at that time lay on the throne. The press service of the OCU did not explain what this ceremony was connected with.
