The superior of the Basilian monastery of Vilnius invites all interested parties to participate in a joint prayer.

In recent days the hierarch of the UGCC called on Ukrainians not to fear European integration and to above all have trust in God. He described the events that will take place in late November as “a chance given to us by God,” the Information Department of the UGCC reports.
