On December 19, 2025, Metropolitan Theodore of Mukachevo and Uzhhorod and Bishop Hilarion of Svaliava visited the “New Family” children’s home in Uzhhorod, according to the press service of the Mukachevo Eparchy.
The children of the orphanage prepared a concert dedicated to the feast of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Metropolitan Theodore thanked the children for their performance, wished them God’s blessing, and presented each of them with festive gifts.
The eparchy noted that visiting the children’s home on St. Nicholas Day has become a good tradition of the Mukachevo Eparchy, which has been supporting orphans for many years.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that the Mukachevo Eparchy had supported the families of fallen soldiers.
