Vow of sobriety by a graduate of the Sapernoe rehabilitation centertranslated

On October 11, at the Church of the Exaltation of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord in the village of Romashki, immediately after the Sunday service, Vladimir, a previous graduate of the Sapernoe anti-drug center of the Network of Centers “Abode of Healing”, again took a vow of sobriety to the Lord for two years.

A prayer service before the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos “The Inexhaustible Chalice” was performed by the chairman of the diocesan Department for Combating Drug Addiction and Alcoholism, deputy head of the Monastery, Priest Alexander Semenov.

At this important moment, next to Vladimir were those who understand the value of a sober life - volunteers and students of the centers. The support of brothers and sisters in faith helps to strengthen one’s decision and move further along the path of spiritual rebirth.
