Priest Andrii Pinchuk outstaffed

Archpriest Andrii Pinchuk has been taken out of the staff of the Dnepropetrovsk Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church at his request, reports the Telegram channel "Veselyi Pip" (“Joyful Priest”).

A community meeting, which agreed on the candidacy of a new priest, was held at St. Michael’s Church of the village of Voloske, where Pinchuk had served as a rector.

"According to rumours, the priest was ordained specifically for the church community of the village of Voloske," the report said.

As reported, in January 2024, Fr. Andrii Pinchuk had an 8-month ban from the priesthood lifted.
