The ministry of these sisters is a great blessing for the UGCC since they reveal the face of merciful God to those who suffer and are in need. With their feats of prayer, the nuns save for Christ not only themselves but also all the people whom they serve so sacrificially and devotedly. This is written by the Head and Father of the UGCC His Beatitude Sviatoslav in his greeting letter to the Society of Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent De Paul on the occasion of the 90^th anniversary of founding the eastern branch of the convent in Ukraine.

The Primate of the Church notes that in order to develop better the care for those in need, Metropolitan Andrey (Sheptytsky), founded the eastern branch of the Society of Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent De Paul: “In all those years, our Lord plentifully poured His graces over you. So let us express today our sincere gratitude to Him and in our prayers let us remember those who promoted the founding of your Society and those who during its existence supported and helped you. Having remembered all of this, with faith and confidence let us step into the future which, provided we keep faithfully Commandments of Christ and His Holy Church, will be peaceful and blessed”.
