In 2009 the Order of Friars Minor Capuchins in Ukraine will celebrate the important jubilee - three hundred years of their presence in the Ukrainian lands. The first Capuchins monastery was founded in Lviv in 1709. Today there’re 6 acting Capuchins monasteries in different places of Ukraine. Ten years ago the Capuchins began their activity in Dnipropetrovsk.

On October, 2 there will be a great celebrations on the occasion of the jubilee, which will take place in Dnipropetrovsk and begin the cycle of festival actions in Vinnitsya, Kyiv, Krasyliv, Starokostiantyniv and Dniprodzerzhynsk.
The celebrations in Dnipropetrovsk begin at 6 p.m. in front of the Roman-Catholic Church on the Karl Marx Av., 91. Among of the celebrating arrangements are the Liturgy, which will be officiated by Stanislaw Padewski, the bishop of the Dioceses of Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, and the gala-concert of the Ukranian and Polish musicians. The bishop is expected to bless the memorable sign which reminds of all the places of life and activity  of the Capuchins in Ukraine during the last three hundreds years.

On July, 27 the Roman Catholic Parish of St.Joseph will hold an anniversary of the public prayers for returning of the Catholic Church building in Dnipropetrovsk. A year ago at the day of Maria Our Lady of Perpetual Help some parishioners found the door of the temple opened. It was a beginning of new stage of the long standing struggle for returning of the cultic building to the Dnipropetrovsk Roman Catholic communite.

Last summer the Catholic temple was illegally demolished by its actual owner - the American company “Dugsbery Inc.” In order to save the building from complete destruction and to return it to the Catholics of Dnipropetrovsk the parishioners began the continuous public prayers near the church. They have been going on to pray up to now.
