As Soncatcher answered it’s the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church’s Catechism. It was published in the Ukraine back in June, but not translated yet that I know of.What does UGCC stand for?

Hi Tex.
Last word on the new Catechism was still from just under two months ago when it was stated on the UGCC’s official site:
*The UGCC Catechism, as well as its Compendium in the future, will be translated into five languages: Russian, English, Portuguese, Spanish and Polish. Translations will be done in those countries where the above mentioned languages are mother tongues, and the Catechetical Commission will do the final proof reading.
“The translation in itself is not an easy endeavor especially if one deals with theological and religious terminology. We will make sure that the proper vocabulary is used which is also comprehensible in one or another country. It will be the responsibility of our Commission and of our Committee on writing the Catechism. The Synod entrusted us to carry on this project”, - said S. Luisa Tsyupa about further plans of the working group on the Catechism in her interview to the UGCC Information Department. *
So I guess it’s still a work in progress. I personally have no idea who is working on the English translation but if I hear anything I’ll post here on CAF. Hopefully we’ll get something in the coming year.

As I understand there will be translation committees for each language being translated into to assure consistency and accuracy. The Catechetical Directory, the precursor to the Catechism, is already available in English.

The most recent news I could find was from September 2014 saying the English edition would be ready “soon.”

As far as I can tell, it hasn’t been released in English yet.

I know that this church bulletin has:
(That’s not my parish – indeed, I don’t even live in Virginia – so I cannot say whether the people who ordered it have received it yet.)
