context_page_description: Center of Military Chaplaincy is a Ukrainian religious organization within the Curia of Lviv Archeparchy of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church that works directly with Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Center of Military Chaplaincy provides counseling and pastoral care to officers, soldiers and their families.
context_section_description: Beside the Sunday Divine services, there are lectures and classes on current moral and ethical issues – presented by seminarians, which are the representatives for the Center of Military Chaplaincy. Beside that the chaplains together with the commanding officers organize excursions and pilgrimages to the holy places of Galicia as well as to the numerous churches of Lviv. Starting from the spring of 2006 the Center of Military Chaplaincy is responsible for the moral upbringing of the cadets at the Liceum of the Heroes of Kruty. The main activities consist of lectures on the current moral issues, celebration of religious and military holidays, and participation in the Divine Services and prayers. One of the main achievements of the Center of Military Chaplaincy is the construction of a Liceum Chapel, where cadets can pray during the school year.
  An important stepping stone in the development of the Center of Military Chaplaincy is the reopening and consecration of the Saints Peter and Paul Garrison Church on December 6, 2011 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Armed Forces of Ukraine. This church is unique, since it is the only garrison church in all of Ukraine and serves as a place where military holidays such as graduation of new officers and other feasts are celebrated with a Divine Liturgy, blessing of military banners and prayer together with an active participation of officers, soldiers, cadets and their families. The Saints Peter and Paul Garrison Church also serves as an important center for developing of pastoral care for military personnel as well as being simply a place to meet God.
