On September 10, 2026, the feast day of St. Job of Pochaiv, Metropolitan Mark of Khust and Vynohradiv consecrated a new altar at a church of the UOC Khust Eparchy. The consecration took place at St. Panteleimon Monastery in the village of Horodylovo, the eparchy’s press service reported.
Following the consecration rite, Metropolitan Mark, who heads the Khust Eparchy, celebrated the Divine Liturgy.
