The OCU continues to gather extras intended to meet Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople in Kyiv.

In particular, trips to the Ukrainian capital are organized in the Chernivtsi and Volyn dioceses of the OCU.

For Bukovina "pilgrims" the trip will cost UAH 500.

In the Volyn diocese, the OCU will be taken "to a common prayer with Patriarch Bartholomew for the happy fate of Ukraine" for UAH 300.

Earlier, similar announcements appeared in Rivne, promising the supporters a trip to Kyiv absolutely free of charge.
