Юлія КоваленкоРада за отця Саву, що пройшов такий довгий шлях від Косова через Кілкіс і Салоники аж до Катеріні. Добре, що на хіротонії були ігумени з Хеландару і сербські викладачі — видно, що людина не втратила коріння. Нехай Господь допомагає йому в служінні.

Photini TaylorGlad to see Father Sava ordained in Katerini after coming all the way from Kosovo through Kilkis and Thessaloniki. Nice that the Hilandar abbot and those Serbian professors were there too. May God strengthen him in his new service.

Василь ОлійникРадію разом з тобою за отця Саву, справді шлях від Косова через Кілкіс і Салоники вийшов довгий, але чесний. Добре, що на хіротонії були ігумен Хеландару і ті сербські викладачі — це показує, що віра тримає людину міцно. Цікаво, чи встигнеш ти колись до Катеріні на службу в нього?
