Metropolitan Varsonofiy of Vinnytsia and Bar celebrated the Divine Liturgy on the eve of the feast day of the St. Nicholas Parish of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), which has been praying for three years in a repurposed space – a rural house in Severynivka, Vinnytsia Region. This was reported by the press service of the Vinnytsia Eparchy.
During the service on December 18, the archbishop, along with clergy and parishioners, offered special prayers for peace in Ukraine, for the persecuted Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Christ, and for deliverance from the enemy.
At the conclusion of the service, the metropolitan congratulated the parishioners on the third anniversary of holding services in this house, as well as the upcoming feast day.
As previously reported, the UOC parish in Pasichna held its first prayer service in a repurposed facility.
