Metropolitan Feodosiy of Cherkasy and Kanev announced that the UOC Church in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “The Tsaritsa” was closed in the Cherkasy city hospital No. The ascetic activity of the Cherkasy sisters of mercy is known not only in the city, but throughout Ukraine.
“The Orthodox community, together with the rector, was expelled from the 1st city hospital of Cherkasy,” said the bishop. – The temple, which was built for 20 years in this hospital by believers, was closed. The lease just wasn’t renewed. And they expelled not just a parish – they expelled the Cherkasy branch of the Marfo-Mariinsky Sisterhood of Mercy. These are more than 20 sisters of mercy who devote their every day to serving their neighbors and providing them with material, social, charitable and spiritual assistance,” the bishop said.
