On August 13, wards of the Radius social rehabilitation center from the autonomous non-profit organization Social Welfare, accompanied by parents and teachers, visited the Ascension Cathedral. Together with the head of the department for work with youth of the Simbirsk diocese, Sergei Nikolaev, they read the troparion, kontakion and prayer at the ark with a piece of the relics of the blessed blessed Matrona of Moscow, which is in the cathedral from August 12 to August 23.

The head of the diocesan youth department told the center's wards about the life of the Holy Blessed Matrona and briefly reminded them of the history of the Ascension Cathedral and the heavenly patron of the city, St. Blessed Andrei of Simbirsk. Then the cathedral guests venerated the shrine.

All excursion participants received missionary booklets with the life of St. Matrona of Moscow. The head of the youth department donated a calendar with churches to the Simbirsk Metropolitanate as a gift to the Radius center.

In September, a meeting dedicated to churches and monasteries of the Ulyanovsk region is planned on the territory of the center.
