Dear Friends,

On May 31, 2007, the UOC-MP received into the calendar of Ukrainian Orthodox Saints, the Holy Hierarch St Pachomius Roman who was glorified by the Roumanian Church in April of this year.

St Pachomius, a Roumanian, (+1724) reposed in the Kyivan Caves Lavra as a holy Hesychast in the Paisian tradition and asked to be buried there.

His feast is on April 14 (NC, April 1) and on the feast of All Saints of the Kyivan Caves Lavra, the Second Sunday of the Great Fast.

Holy Hierarch of Christ, Pachomios, pray unto God for us!

Alex
