The St. Panteleimon parish of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Vyshhorod, Kyiv region – which the OCU has been attempting to “transfer” to its jurisdiction – has donated 28 vehicles for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The news was shared on Facebook by the parish rector, Archpriest Dionisiy Denysenko.
The St. Panteleimon Charity Foundation, operating at the parish, assisted in purchasing and delivering the vehicle for the military. The priest blessed the car before its handover to the soldiers.
The parish expressed gratitude to benefactors and volunteers for their help in delivering the vehicles.
“While some so-called ‘lords fathers’ think only about their own ego and enrichment, we continue our humanitarian mission and support for those in need,” Archpriest Dionisiy added.
As the UOJ previously reported, in Vyshhorod, representatives of the OCU are attempting to seize the St. Panteleimon Church of the UOC, despite having their own buildings in the city standing empty. After the visit of OCU cleric Vitaliy Bosenko – who registered duplicate documents for the UOC’s St. Panteleimon Church in Vyshhorod and tried to persuade parishioners to switch to Dumenko’s jurisdiction – the Orthodox community reaffirmed its faithfulness to the UOC and voiced support for its rector.
