Joseph Velamin-Rutski (born as Ivan Velyaminov; Belarusian: Язэп Руцкі, Russian: Иосиф Рутский, Ukrainian: Йосиф Рутський, Polish: Józef Welamin Rucki[1]) - (1574 – 5 April 1637) was the "Metropolitan of Kiev, Galicia and all Ruthenia"[a] in the Ruthenian Uniate Church — a sui juris Eastern Catholic Church in full communion with the Holy See. He reigned from 1613 to 1637. He worked to build the Greek Catholic Church in the first few decades after the Union of Brest of 1596; he also reformed the Basilian monks.[2]
