The hierarchs, clergy, and faithful of the eparchy expressed their sincere condolences to the family of Archpriest Ioann Koptyl over the death of his son.
“May the Merciful Lord grant rest to the soul of the warrior Heorhii in the heavenly dwellings, and grant strength to his family in this time of sorrow,” the statement says.
