With the blessing of Metropolitan Symeon of Vinnytsia and Bar, the clergy and parishes of the Vinnytsia-Bar Diocese once again joined in raising funds to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This time, the funds raised were used to purchase a mobile portable signal amplifier that will help control drones at a great distance.
Donations were made by Metropolitan Symeon, the clergy and parishioners of the Transfiguration Cathedral in Vinnytsia, as well as parishioners of the Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the village of Pryborivka, Vinnytsia district, and parishioners of other churches: Miracle of the Archangel Michael in Lopatintsy, Protection of the Mother of God in Karmalyukove, Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Mezhyriv, St John the Theologian in Riv and the Church of the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Semaki, Zhmerynka district, together with the Rector, Archpriest Yaroslav Dyachyna.
Archpriest Dimitri Pasichnyk, the Dean of Zhmerynka district, donated to the general fund part of the money raised during the festival of Christmas carols held at the Ascension Church in Stanislavchyk village.
Thanks to the funds of the clergy and faithful of the OCU, as well as donations from benefactors, including those from other confessions, who joined the good cause (these include, in particular, Tetiana Popil, Taras Kadira, Tetiana Polovynchuk, Valentyna Liashun, Tetyana Yefremova, NGO "WE Are Vinnytsia" and many others), the coordinator of the collection, volunteer Archpriest Anatoliy Kuznetsov, purchased and handed over an antenna-amplifier to the reconnaissance unit of the 24th Separate Mechanised Brigade.
Today, the signal amplifier is already helping our soldiers liberate Ukrainian land from the occupiers and bringing Ukraine's victory closer.
In the meantime, Archpriest Anatoly Kuznetsov is once again raising funds to purchase the necessary equipment and supplies for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The priest plans to personally deliver the purchased and collected items directly to the units in eastern Ukraine. The next mission will take place in two weeks. You can follow the activities of the volunteer priest on his personal Facebook page. Funds for the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces can be transferred to the card 4149 4993 8518 6570 (Kuznetsov Anatoly Anatolyevich).
