Volunteer assistants from Orthodox parishes in Moscow are ready to serve in the capital's SIZO Matrosskaya Tishina. During a meeting with the head of the Synodal Department for Charity, Bishop Panteleimon of Orekhovo-Zuevsky assured the administration of the correctional institution of this.
As the magazine 'Thomas' adds with reference to the official website of the Synodal Department, during the meeting a number of other issues related to the interaction of the Church and the Administration of the Penitentiary Service in Moscow were discussed.
The Matrosskaya Tishina is home to the only prison hospital in the Russian capital. During his visit here, Bishop Panteleimon talked with her staff and patients, and also visited the construction site of the temple in honor of the icon of the Mother of God 'Joy of All Who Sorrow'. It is planned to complete the work in it and consecrate the temple next year.
