On February 2, 2025, the first conciliar service of UOC clergy in Norway took place in Sandnes, according to a Facebook post by Fr. Volodymyr Saviyskyi.
The Divine Liturgy was presided over by His Grace Veniamin, Bishop of Boyarka, Vicar of the Kyiv Metropolis. The service was held at the St. Nicholas Church in Sandnes.
Prayers were offered for peace in Ukraine and for the Ukrainian people.
"At the entrance to the church, the bishop was greeted with flowers and warm welcomes by the children of the Sunday school. In his welcoming address, the parish rector, Archpriest Viktor, congratulated the bishop on the feast and asked for a blessing for all our fellow countrymen currently residing in Norway," wrote the priest.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that UOC parishes in Europe held charity events for the feast of St. Nicholas.
