СПОВІДЬ: Кожен православний християнин/ка повинні посповідатися під час Великого посту, щоб мати можливість прийняти Святе Причастя на Пасху, і бути в доброму духовному стані як православні віруючі. Отець Андрій може вислухати вашу Сповідь до або після будь-якого з Великопісних богослужінь. Останній день, коли ви зможете посповідатись цього Посту буде ЧЕТВЕР. Будь ласка, спланyйте відповідно!
