The Archeparchy statistics 2021

Father Waslo stated that it is sad to observe how the Archeparchy’s structures are decreasing each year. “We are still here, still offering the best we can for the salvation of people. Hopefully we will increase our vocations. This past year we have had only one ordination to the diaconate but not for priesthood yet. These are things we have to keep working at. There are people who feel the calling but the tension of the world interferes and they doubt if they should take that plunge or not. Even if numbers seem to be unfavourable the faithfulness of the people gives us hope. The thing we should keep doing is to encourage people. If we listen to the world there is no hope, it is always bad news, and at least when we come to the Church, we hear the good news and we try to live it and be optimistic. It is God who is in control, not us. We just have to participate with Him to make it happen”, stressed Monsignor Peter.
