The Very Reverend Father Andrei, Archbishop of Vadu Vareș, Feleac, and Cluj, and Metropolitan of Cluj, Maramureș, and Sălaj, blessed on Tuesday the works on the new chapel at the County Emergency Hospital in Bistrița, in the presence of representatives of the medical and local authorities.

Metropolitan of Cluj spoke about the role of a prayer chapel in a hospital and about the respect that must be accorded to the medical staff.

For pastoral-missionary activity, the Very Reverend Father Andrei ordained the hieromonk presbyter Alin Miheștin, a server of the church within the hospital, and congratulated the builders of the church.

Church for patients and medical staff The church has the chapel's sanctuary, which previously functioned within the hospital grounds: St. Apostle and Evangelist Luke.

Currently, services can be held in the new church, and upon request, spiritual assistance can be provided even at the bedsides of the patients.
