Spiritual care across borders
Clergy, chaplaincy, prayer, counsel, formation, and worship resources serve people whose spiritual lives do not always fit within a single local parish or national boundary.
Prayerful stewardship
Support the Heart of the Church
Help sustain a living Apostolic inheritance through spiritual care, service, preservation, publication, and international engagement.
A letter to friends of the Church
A sacred inheritance sustained in the present
From the ancient lands where the Apostles once walked to the realities of a global Church today, the United Roman-Ruthenian Church stands as a living witness to Apostolic truth, tradition, and service.
Unlike a local parish, the central office receives no regular parish assessments or tithes. Yet it serves dioceses, clergy, missions, institutions, and people across national boundaries: maintaining records, publishing texts, supporting spiritual life, facilitating ecumenical and international relations, and guarding the Church’s historical patrimony.
Your offering helps make that quiet, continuing work possible. Whether this is your first gift or one of many, it is received with gratitude.
In Christ,
Radislav Pp. I
Pope and Prince-Bishop of Rome-Ruthenia
“Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.”
Matthew 25:21What stewardship sustains
Work measured in continuity, counsel, and service
Much of the Church’s work is personal, spiritual, diplomatic, or custodial. Its value cannot always be reduced to a count of buildings or programmes. It is seen in institutions kept alive, counsel faithfully given, people accompanied, traditions transmitted, and relationships maintained across generations.
Preservation and publication
Liturgical, canonical, historical, educational, and heraldic materials are maintained and made available so that a living inheritance can be understood and transmitted.
International engagement
The Church and Pontifical Imperial State undertake diplomatic, humanitarian, cultural, and advisory work, including engagement through special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
Institutional continuity
Central records, ecclesiastical governance, communications, clergy resources, and relationships among the Church’s worldwide people and institutions require steady, careful administration by the Roman-Ruthenian Pope and Curia.
Recent and continuing work
Quiet accomplishments with lasting value
The Church reports its work through the substance of what it preserves and provides, rather than through artificial corporate measures. Current examples include:
A renewed public record
Modernising and expanding a substantial multilingual digital library of Church history, worship, governance, canonical teaching, cultural patrimony, and institutional life.
Living spiritual access
Making liturgical, devotional, and educational resources available to people who worship locally, remotely, at home, or in dispersed communities around the world.
International counsel
Continuing ecclesiastical, diplomatic, humanitarian, and advisory relationships, including the responsibilities associated with United Nations ECOSOC consultative status held since 2019.
Preserved continuity
Maintaining the records, structures, succession, traditions, and working relationships that allow an ancient inheritance to function responsibly in the modern era.
Service through a global network
Supporting clergy, officials, affiliates, and members as they provide spiritual care, charitable service, counsel, and practical assistance within their own communities.
These are not isolated projects. They are continuing responsibilities. A dependable body of supporters allows the Church to plan beyond the immediate need and to preserve its work for those who come after us.

Stewardship, service, and legacy
Those who sustain the Church become part of its living legacy
Service to the Church takes many forms: prayer, direct work, professional expertise, charitable action, cultural stewardship, and material benefaction. Each strengthens what the Church is able to preserve, accomplish, and hand on to future generations.
In accordance with its laws and traditions, the Church may recognize exceptional service through its established orders, honours, or other forms of acknowledgment. Such recognition considers the whole record of character and service. It is never automatic, promised, or purchased, and no gift creates eligibility or guarantees recognition.
Thank you for helping preserve a living legacy of faith, service, unity, and Christian heritage.
Unless a restricted purpose has been expressly agreed in writing by the Church, offerings are received as unrestricted and may be applied, at the Church’s discretion, wherever most needed in its administration, mission, ministry, worship, preservation, and institutional life.
