The Makhachkala diocese congratulated elderly people in a homeless sheltertranslated

With the blessing of Archbishop Varlaam of Makhachkala and Derbent, representatives of the Makhachkala diocese visited a shelter for the homeless in the capital of Dagestan.

The secretary of the Makhachkala diocese, Priest Pavel Kalikin, addressed the residents of the shelter with a welcoming word and good wishes on behalf of the ruling bishop. The priest congratulated the elderly person on the past Day and wished everyone health, mental strength and God's help.

The festive program was prepared and conducted by the director of the Transfiguration Sunday school, Natalia Nikolaevna Lysova. Not only guests, but also elderly people sang musical compositions, and funny competitions added a touch of joy.

Gifts were purchased for the shelter's residents using funds raised during the White Flower charity event. Guests were also treated to pies, fruits and sweets.

Charitable initiatives remind us of the importance of mercy, compassion and active love for our neighbors. Sincere attention, kind words and care help people who find themselves in difficult life situations to feel that they are not forgotten or left without support.
