Our Faith Is Expressed in Love of Neighbour
Saints Cyril and Methodius Parish in Poroshkovo is a community of prayer and mutual support. We care for older people, support those facing difficult circumstances, organise activities for children and young people, and work together for the development of our community.
Through daily work, acts of kindness and mutual support, we seek to help every person feel cared for, respected and part of the community.

We seek to create opportunities for creativity, learning, friendship and the development of children's abilities.
Youth Empowerment and Active Citizenship
We encourage young people to take initiative, act responsibly and participate in community life.
Social Inclusion and Solidarity
We aim to strengthen trust, mutual support and a sense of belonging as foundations for community well-being.
Love in action
Serving Our Community
Our directions and goals for ministry. Specific programmes, their frequency and results are reported only after confirmation.
Defenders and Their Families
Support for Service Members and Ukraine’s Defenders
We aim to develop spiritual support, personal care and assistance in response to defenders’ agreed needs. This is a direction of ministry, not a report of a completed programme.
Support for Families of Fallen Defenders
We seek to stand alongside bereaved families through prayer, attentive companionship and support guided by their needs and wishes.
Welcoming Displaced People
Assistance for Internally Displaced People
This direction focuses on welcoming people forced to leave their homes, helping them connect with the community and exploring opportunities for mutual support.
Care and Companionship
Visits to Patients in Hospitals and Military Hospitals
Our aim is to develop pastoral support and visits with patients’ consent and in agreement with the institutions. Specific visits and partnerships have not yet been confirmed for publication.
Home Visits to Older People and Those Living Alone
Personal presence, companionship and attention to individual needs are an important part of our ministry. The parish has supplied individual examples of visits; no regularity or scale is claimed.
Families, Children and Community
Assistance for Families in Need
We seek to support families facing difficult circumstances. Parish materials include an individual example of food assistance; the number of families and frequency of support have not been established.
Children, Young People and Community Development
Camps, creative activities, youth gatherings and shared initiatives offer opportunities for friendship, learning and participation. Developing these activities further is our goal.
Documented Activities
Community Life in Action
Visits and Practical Assistance
Materials supplied by the parish document individual visits to older people and assistance with food. These examples do not establish the frequency of support or the number of people reached.
Acts of mercy begin with care for each person.

Photographs document camp activities, creative work, table tennis and a bicycle outing. They illustrate activities rather than demonstrating measured changes in participants' behaviour.
Days of joy, shared prayer, friendship and lasting memories.

Cleaning the grounds and preparatory work near the entrance are examples of shared work. Church infrastructure development is distinguished from direct assistance to people.
Parish life continues beyond the services. This photograph supplied by the parish shows the pastor sharing in work on the church grounds.

The Change We Seek
We seek to strengthen trust, mutual support, initiative and responsibility; support children and young people; and encourage participation in community life. Extending this experience to neighbouring villages is a goal, rather than a claim of existing geographical reach.
Outcomes to Be Measured
An approved outcome assessment has not yet been published. We therefore do not report beneficiary totals, geographical reach or proven behavioural change. For future projects, we aim to agree objectives and indicators in advance and report results once the evidence has been reviewed.
