The hierarch noted that as of today, the parishioners of the cathedral are deprived of the possibility to pray in their church, and the episcopal house, where the eparchy's administration was located, is sealed.
Metropolitan Volodymyr also reported that the residence of the Metropolitan of Volodymyr-Volynsky and Kovel remains in Volodymyr and will temporarily be located in the premises rented for further services by the persecuted religious community of the Dormition Cathedral.
The meeting was attended by district deans, monastery abbots, cathedral rectors, and heads of the eparchial departments.
