Yesterday, at the Church of the Annunciation in Uzhhorod, a panachida was celebrated for priest-martyr, Fr. Danil Bachynsky who suffered for the faith in prison in 1951. The panachida was celebrated by both Bishop Milan Sasik, Bishop Nil Lushcak, as well as Mitered Archpriest Mikhail Banick and Fr. Olexiy Nebesnyk.

Interestingly enough his son, also named Fr. Danil Bachynsky, was the one who heard Blessed Theordore Romzha’s last confession before he was martyred, and would also be arrested and sent to the gulag during the suppression of our Church.
