On March 1, 2025, the SpyridonLisbon YouTube channel premiered a music video for the song "We Are One Family," performed by young parishioners of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The project was created with the support of the Ukrainian Orthodox parish of Saint Spyridon of Trimythous in Lisbon.

The UOC youth emphasized that the song serves as a reminder of what is most important during these times – "unity, mutual support, and inner strength."

The inspiration behind the song stemmed from dreams of a just peace in Ukraine, the unification of hearts and souls, and the desire for every Ukrainian to feel the warmth of collective prayer and mutual love.

"Let this song become a symbol of the unity of Ukrainian youth, who pray, sing, and create the future together. Because they are one family!" the performers stated.

Earlier, it was reported that Patriarch Daniel consecrated the first temple of the Bulgarian Church in London.
