Municipal Chaplaincy
Municipal chaplains are people who work with local authorities and civil society organizations. Chaplains also become involved in the work of educational institutions: they conduct training sessions and themed workshops, and organize a variety of events and excursions for young people. A municipal chaplain is a bridge between the community, believers, and the local authorities!
In schools and universities, the role of the municipal chaplain lies in mentoring and providing spiritual care for the rising generation — in supporting the spiritual, social, and emotional well-being of Ukrainian pupils and students.
This field opens the door to carrying out a great many Christian projects in one's own city and region.
"If people come to church to see a priest, a chaplain goes out to the people himself!"
