On the night of March 19, 2026, unknown individuals robbed the UOC church dedicated to the Miracle of the Archangel Michael in Vinnytsia’s Sabariv neighborhood. The incident was reported by the press service of the Vinnytsia Eparchy.
The robbers smashed the windows, broke into the church, and stole money as well as other valuables used to support the life of the parish.
“As a result, the parish suffered significant material losses, since all available financial resources intended for utility payments and current expenses were taken,” the statement said.
The eparchy asked the faithful to support the Sabariv parish and help restore the damaged windows and sustain the parish’s overall work. Donation details have been published on the eparchy’s website.
As previously reported by the UOJ, dioceses of the UOC have distributed food and gifts to children and people with disabilities.
