At the request of clergy and laity, the Ukrainian site Orthodox Life has launched the special project “For our persecuted brothers, let us pray,” publishing a list of names of the rectors of those communities of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church whose churches have been seized or are under threat of seizure by nationalist schismatics.

The names can be submitted at liturgical services or used for home prayer rules.

Download the list of names (in Russian) in PDF format here. The list will be updated every Friday, and additional information, including parish names arranged by diocese and the date of seizure are available on the Orthodox Life page.
