Father Abbot President, together with Prior Vadimir Kasan of Sampor, carried out a canonical visitation of the Abbey of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Zhytomyr and the cell of the same monastery in Lviv - Slolonka. From 8 to 14 January, the two communities reflected on how they functioned during the war and on the future of the two communities. It was clear to all of us that a certain phase in the history of the Solonka cell had come to an end. The brothers have to leave Slolonka for reasons beyond their control, and the sisters now have to take full responsibility for running the monastery. We all believe that with the end of the war the idea of a male community in Ukraine will return.
