While the Ukrainian Orthodox Church has suffered the loss of many churches in recent years and months to the schismatics of the “Orthodox Church of Ukraine” and the ongoing war, at the same time, the people remain faithful and the Church continues to grow.
The strength of the Church is evidenced by the continual construction of new churches throughout the country. At least six new churches have been consecrated in various dioceses just since the beginning of the month.
