Stepan Ksiondzyk Deaconal Service Jubilee

Father Stepan Ksiondzyk has been celebrating the 50th anniversary of his Deaconal service.   In the times of Communist persecutions Deacon Stepan had his home church where he conducted Baptisms and Marriages of Kremenets inhabitants. At the same time he was persecuted and experienced physical violance for his Chrsitian convictions from the Soviet regime. As the Ukrainian Lutheran Church has been restored in Ukraine, Deacon Ksiondzyk faithfully serves in the Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Kremenets. We congratulate Deacon Stepan on this Jubilee and wish him many and blessed years in the service of the Savior and His Church!
