Primate of the Polish Church congratulates His Beatitude on Name Day
Primates of the Local Orthodox Churches have extended congratulations to Metropolitan Onuphry on the day of his heavenly patron.
On the eve of June 25, 2025 – the commemoration day of Venerable Onuphrius the Great – His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry of Kyiv and All Ukraine began receiving greetings from the Primates of Local Orthodox Churches and hierarchs abroad on the occasion of his Name Day, according to the Information and Education Department of the UOC.
In his message, His Beatitude Metropolitan Sawa of Warsaw and All Poland wished the Primate of the UOC spiritual and physical strength.
"Your Beatitude! I sincerely congratulate you on your Name Day. I pray the Lord, through the intercessions of St. Onuphrius the Great, to grant you spiritual and physical strength in your primatial ministry to the Holy and Much-Suffering Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Many years to you, Your Beatitude!" reads the letter from the Primate of the Polish Church.
As a reminder, clerics of the OCU have expressed resentment over the fact that the Polish Church regards them as impostors.
