The monument will stand near a newly built church in the village of Prylbychi, the birthplace of the Sheptytsky brothers. According to sculptor Vasyl Hohol, the monument will be 4 meters tall and weigh 40 tons. "The monument includes a pyramid in front of which sit the Sheptytsky brothers clad in cassocks. It symbolizes the eternity of the ideas that these men embodied in their actions and thoughts,” says the sculptor. The monument was made from limestone. Today the monument is ready; work is being completed on the landscape. The cost of the monument is about 500 thousand UAH; its founder is Petro Pysarchuk. Metropolitan Andrey was the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church from 1900 to 1944. Klymentiy Sheptytsky, Andrey’s brother, was the archimandrite of the Studite monks. He was arrested in 1947 for refusing to convert to Orthodoxy and died in a prison in Vladimir, Russia, in 1951. In 2001 the blessed hieromartyr was beatified by Pope John Paul II.
