Russian military priest working with personnel in a field church

Military personnel of the Western Military District continue to carry out combat missions. Military priests help them maintain peace and peace of mind and raise their morale. Priests provide fighters with the opportunity to participate in church sacraments. Often, risking their lives, along with soldiers, priests not only serve prayers, but also give communion, confess and baptise military personnel who have acquired faith.

Conversations with priests have a strong positive impact on the morale of soldiers.
On the days of great church holidays, the presence of a priest next to a military man is especially valuable and important.

Particular attention is paid to the issues of supporting troops operating at a considerable distance from temporary deployment and deployment points
