    Wednesday, 8th November 2017, on the Feast of Holy Great-Martyr Demetrius the Myrrh-Streamer, His Eminence Metropolitan Vladimir celebrated the Patron Feast Divine Liturgy in the Monastery of Pripceni-Curchi, amidst a big number of worshipers.

    Concelebrating to the arch-pastor of the Orthodox Church of Moldova were archpriest Vadim Cheibas, Metropolitan Secretary, archpriest Igor Cojocaru, Dean of Rezina church circumscription, archimandrite Nicolae (Rosca), Confessor-administrator of the monastery of Ciuflea in Chisinau, archimandrite Filaret (Cuzmin), Monk-superior of Capriana monastery, Archimandrite Serafim (Razmerita, Monk-superior of the Monastery of Tipova, Archimandrite Vladimir (Trelea), Confessor of the Monastery of Condrita, and numerous other priests and deacons.

    During the Service, for outstanding efforts in the good administration of the monastic community in Pripceni-Curchi, Metropolitan Vladimir awarded a high church distinction to mother Filoteea (Railean), Nun-superior of the monastery – Degree II Order of Blessed Agafia of Cuselauca.

    The father-confessor of the monastery, archimandrite Ioan (Hangan) was distinguished with the right of celebrating the Divine Liturgy with the Holy Doors open till the Cherubim hymn.

    Numerous priests of Rezina circumscription received metropolitan distinctions at the report of the Dean of Rezina church circumscription, fr. Igor Cojocaru.

    After the Thanks-giving prayers that followed the Divine Liturgy, Metropolitan Vladimir came up with arch-pastoral message, mentioning, among others:

    “Nowadays, when the holy faith is under attack from many sources, we need to love pure truth given to us by God, and do our best to communicate this truth to others. There is so much suffering around, and that is why we must show compassion and sympathy to those in need, soothing their pain with our good acts. Praying with pure heart, Christians oxygenate their spiritual life and follow, at the same time, the example of Holy Great-Martyr Demetrius, celebrated today, and all other saints, who pleased God”, said the metropolitan.

    Father-confessor Ioan addressed a brief message of gratefulness to the Metropolitan and to the praying community.
