Charity visit of Archbishop Stefan to Sosnovy Bor hospitaltranslated

On October 12, 2026, on the eve of the Week of Parental Love and the Feast of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, His Eminence Stefan, Archbishop of Gomel and Zhlobin, paid a charitable visit to the Sosnovy Bor Nursing Hospital of the Svetlogorsk Central District Hospital.

The archpastor was accompanied by the dean of the Svetlogorsk church district, Archpriest Alexander Kisel, and the clergy of the deanery.

Caring for the elderly and people in need of constant care requires not only the necessary assistance, but also simple human participation - attention, communication and a kind word.

Today, the facility houses 24 elderly people and patients with chronic diseases who require constant medical supervision and 24-hour care.

Archbishop Stefan donated personal hygiene products for the needs of the hospital.

During the visit, the bishop talked with the patients, supported them with kind words and gave each a gift of sweets.

For the people here, this visit was another opportunity to feel attention and support, which are especially important during the period of long-term treatment and ongoing care.
