His Eminence Metropolitan Ioan of Banat of the Romanian Orthodox Church is well known for his constant social-philanthropic activities.
The Archdiocese of Timișoara, part of the Metropolis of Banat, is known for donating houses to large and needy families, and during this Nativity Fast, the Metropolitan aims to help a family with more than a dozen children.
With the support of the faithful, work has already begun on the expansion of a house in Sacoșu Turcesc, Timiș County, for a family with 3 boys and 10 girls between the ages of 3 and 16, the Metropolis reports.

Under His Eminence’s care, two teams of craftsmen have begun their work, building the upper floor masonry, forming and pouring the columns and support beams, as well as constructing the truss structure and installing a tile roof. The entire operation is proceeding at a rapid pace, scheduled to be completed in just a matter of days.
“We will do everything so that this family has a roof over their heads and is no longer affected by rain,” said Fr. Timotei Anișorac, diocesan counselor.
In March 2023, Met. Ioan donated a house to an elderly man who had been living in a dilapidated building.
Earlier this week, OrthoChristian reported that the Rivne Diocese of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church had completed an initiative to provide a new home for a widowed priest’s family.
