In the Rivne region in Western Ukraine, a former member of the “Kyiv Patriarchate” Nikolai Ovsyannikov, after repentance, was ordained a deacon.
This was reported by the press service of the Rivne diocese.
The service took place at the Holy Trinity Derman Convent. Bishop Pimen, vicar of the Rivne Diocese, celebrated the liturgy, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“During the service, Nikolai Nikolaevich Ovsyannikov, who was a “priest” of the “Kyiv Patriarchate,” was ordained as a deacon. Three years ago, Nicholas left the schism and, through sincere repentance, came into the fold of the canonical Church,” the press service said in a statement.
