Dear Mr President, we hereby address You with a request for help and protection of our monastery in Lvov-Bryukhovychi since the lives of our Sisters are repeatedly in danger! On 13 July 2017, at 23:30, there was an attack on our monastery. An unknown group of men threw Molotov cocktails at the windows. There were 30 religious sisters and 5 guests sleeping inside. Only by a miracle of God there was no catastrophe and the monastery was not turned into a mass grave.

On Monday 22 June 2015, a group of men in masks made an armed attack on the women’s Monastery of St Elijah the Prophet in Bryukhovychi near Lvov on the orders of the UGCC (Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church) hierarchy. The Monastery, which was established by the Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi in 1925, went through the communist era, when the Church went underground and suffered persecution, and it preserved the true Catholic faith.

Today, on 17 November 2012, at seven o’clock in the morning about 20 men in masks broke into the monastery of contemplative sisters in the village of Probizhna, Ternopol region, Ukraine. These were priests and seminarians of the UGCC (Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church). They climbed a ladder to the second floor, broke the window in the chapel and invaded the monastery. The sisters just barely managed to take the Eucharist from the tabernacle. The attackers started to beat the sisters, kick and swear at them, and violently brought one by one out of the house under the supervision of the local priest, Zenobius Pasichnyk (UGCC) who was watching the brutal action from a distance.
