In this time of severe cold weather in most regions of the country, the Romanian Patriarchate urges the clergy and faithful from parishes and monasteries to help, together with the departments of social assistance of the eparchies and with the local authorities, the homeless persons, street children, lonely old people and poor families with many children who suffer because of snow and cold weather.
We urge the parochial committees of the churches especially from the urban areas to offer hot tea and aliments, in churches, to the persons affected by the frosty weather so that they may pass easier these days of bad weather.
