In Ivano-Frankivsk, persecuted UOC community feeds homeless in the open air
In Ivano-Frankivsk, the persecuted community of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church has to feed the homeless in the open, Orthodox Subcarpathia reports.
For almost five years, every Saturday, homeless and needy citizens received free meals at the Transfiguration church. The mission was organized by the Charity and Social Service Department of the Ivano-Frankivsk Eparchy.
But after the temple was taken away from the community in defiance of the UN decision, believers have no choice but to feed people in the open air in the city center.
“Despite the persecution, the Charity and Social Service Department continues to provide assistance in urgent treatment of citizens and other targeted assistance,” writes the newspaper edition.
Earlier, the UOJ said that the community of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Ivano-Frankivsk, evicted from their church, is asking for help.
