The conclusion of the academic year began with the Divine Liturgy at St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, celebrated by Metropolitan Feodor of Kamianets-Podilskyi.

The graduates presented diploma projects on Marian, Christological, and festal themes, including icons of the Holy Trinity, the Theophany, and the Nativity of Christ. All the projects received the highest marks from the school’s examination board.
