Eparchy commemorates Ukrainian Greek Catholic priest Mykhailo Vorobiy

The Eparchy of Wrocław-Koszalin commemorates the death of Father Mykhailo Vorobiy, a Ukrainian Greek Catholic priest and community activist, on October 26.

Vorobiy studied at the Przemyśl Theological Seminary and served as the parish priest of Dobrychyn starting in 1936. In 1947, Vorobiy, his wife, and his youngest son were deported to Siberia for ten years, where he continued to perform pastoral duties in secret. He returned to Ukraine in 1956 due to illness and died later that year in Buchach.
