The Romanian Orthodox Diocese of Spain and Portugal is launching a charitable project to help Romanian orphans.
The “Father’s Heart: Love for Abandoned Children” project will run from March 2025 to March 2026, with the blessing of His Grace Bishop Timotei of Spain and Portugal. The aim is to gather monthly donations and create a fund to ensure a better life for abandoned children from Romanian orphanages, the diocese reports.
An appeal will be made to the faithful in every parish of the diocese. There are currently 14 Romanian Orthodox churches in Spain and 11 churches and one monastery in Portugal.
Believers who wish to support the project are invited to contribute 25 euros per family per month for one year, thus helping to create a stable and sustainable fund for children.
The diocese will collaborate with the poorest dioceses in Romania that administer orphanages, ensuring the use of funds for improving living conditions, educational support, and access to medical services.
“Through this project, the Orthodox community in Spain and Portugal will contribute to improving the living conditions of abandoned children in Romania, offering them a chance for a better future, through constant material and moral support,” the diocese writes.
