Dear military chaplains of Ukraine!

The Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations (UCCRO), which includes various Christian Churches, Jewish, and Muslim communities in Ukraine, congratulates the military chaplains of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard of Ukraine, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, and other military formations on the Day of the Military Chaplain of Ukraine!

During the war initiated against us by the Russian state, chaplains, putting their own lives at risk, are assisting the military to fulfill their duty, upholding the faith and morale of the soldiers in difficult times.

Your contribution to the protection and defense of Ukraine cannot be overestimated. Through your words and actions, advice and attention, kindness, and compassion, you are healing the souls of the soldiers, strengthening their faith, and bringing the Victory over the Russian invaders closer.

We thank every military chaplain for your conscientious and devoted service to the military, their families, and all the Ukrainian people!

May God help you in all your good endeavors, granting you wisdom, patience, spiritual strength, and love in your daily ministry.

Our prayers are with the Ukrainian people and every individual, asking the Almighty to give them the strength to remain strong in spirit and overcome evil.
