With the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan Vladimir, during the months of June-July 2023, a number of social-philanthropic actions took place, organized and coordinated by the Synodal Sector of Social Activity and Charity, headed by the monk Macarie Crudu.
In this regard we mention some of the activities carried out:
- the provision of special toys and the fitting out of a new cabinet for the daytime activities of the children of SOS Autism organization in the municipality of Chisinau;
- providing clothes and hygienic products to the children of SOS Autism organization in Chisinau;
- providing summer clothes and shoes for the inmates of Prison No. 13 in Chisinau;
- providing clothes and shoes for Ukrainian children and adults hosted by the Refugee Centre of the Sanatorium “Constructorul” in Chisinau;
- spiritual and material support for dozens of young families in need, as well as for several people with health problems who received financial help for treatment.
It is very important that in the daily life of the Church we do not neglect the aspect of charity, generosity or Christian philanthropy, as an expression of our spirituality, summed up in the words: “from a gift out of a gift comes Heaven”, because the Holy Scripture teaches us that “he who helps the poor lends God” (Parables 19:17) and exhorts us: “be merciful, as your Father (in heaven) is merciful” (Luke 6:36).
We gratefully thank all Christians and partner organizations that support the initiatives and social-philanthropic actions organized by the Synodal Sector for Social Activity and Charity of the Orthodox Church of Moldova!
We remind you that from 15 July to 31 August 2023, with the blessing and care of His Eminence Metropolitan Vladimir, the 4th edition of the Campaign for supporting disadvantaged children “Help a child to go to school!” will be held. The campaign collects school bags with school supplies for children from dozens of socially vulnerable families in the country.
