Chisinau-Moldova: Diaconia Social Mission of the autonomous Metropolitan Church of Bessarabia has completed two decades of service among the faithful. The Mission is headquartered in ‘In the arms of the mother’ Center in Chisinau, the capital city of Moldova. Over the past twenty years, Diaconia has become the Social Arm of the Bessarabian Church of the Romanian Patriarchate.

The Social Mission consists of three branches namely, (1) Consulting Center for community and mother-child, (2) Emergency Center for mother-child couples and pregnant women, and (3) “Casa Maria” secondary housing centre.

Metropolitan Petru (Archbishop of Chisinau, Metropolitan of Bessarabia and Exarch of the Plains) visited the Social Centre on the glorious occasion. He commented that “In all these 20 years since its establishment, through the tireless work of young volunteers, Diaconia has become a business card of the Romanian Orthodox Church, through the Metropolitan Church of Bessarabia. Through ‘Diaconia’ we will continue to have the necessary strength to drive and identify new forms of assistance in response to the needs of our neighbour” reports Bascilia News
