The Romanian Orthodox Church marked the commemorative year of the Romanian philanthropists (2020) through concrete activities, said Patriarch Daniel in his opening remarks at the National Church Assembly’s meeting at the Patriarchate Palace on Wednesday.
“We did not start with the history of philanthropists, but with the deeds of philanthropy, because it was necessary to show by deeds how important philanthropy is,” said His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel, referring to the Church’s philanthropic work last year.
In 2020, the Church invested 38 million euros in philanthropy. An increase of 17.6% (5.7 million euros) compared to 2019.
“It was a great effort, but it showed the Church’s concern for helping those in need,” His Beatitude said Feb. 24.

At the autopsy, 100 milliliters of water were found in the baby s lungs, a doctor said.
