On March 20, 2023, a meeting of the Holy Synod of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church was held in the Holy Dormition Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra under the chairmanship of His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphrius of Kyiv and All Ukraine.
In connection with the retirement of His Holiness Bishop Gideon, Archimandrite Kliment (Shmygelskyi) was elected the vicar of the Tithe Monastery of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos.
In this difficult time for both the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the Tithe Monastery of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos, we wish the new vicar of the monastery, God's blessing and protection of the Queen of Heaven, wisdom, patience and love in managing the monastery entrusted to him.
