In Jesuit Church in Poznań Ukrainian Orthodox Christians celebrated the Easter Mysteries. The number of believers surprised everyone. Since 10 April, the Sunday before Palm Sunday, we have hosted in our church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Our Lady of Consolation, Father Ivan Dziuba CPU, an Orthodox priest, who took care of the faithful who came to Poznań from Ukraine. After Easter, the Orthodox Liturgy will continue to be held here.
„The attendance can only be compared to events over 30 years ago, when mass celebrations were held in the temple and in the square in front of it. The 300 Orthodox church candles, which were prepared by the Orthodox pastor, Fr Ivan Dziuba, were sold out in a flash already on Saturday. The gratitude of the participants of the liturgy, headed by the pastor, was touching. It is also expressed in the entries in the memorial book in front of the altar of St Andrew Bobola. There were also many baked goods and Easter eggs given to the Jesuits in order to thank them,” says Father Grzegorz Dobroczynski SJ of the Jesuit community in Poznan, who blessed the food during the Easter breakfast for refugees at the International Trade Fair in Poznań, where about a thousand people gathered.
