Romanian Patriarch Daniel presented the general report on the Bucharest Archdiocese\u2019s activities in 2025 during the annual meeting of the Archdiocesan Assembly on Thursday, January 22.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The event opened with a Te Deum service celebrated by the Archdiocese’s Assistant Bishop Timotei of Prahova, in the Europa Christiana Hall of the Patriarchal Palace.<\/p>\n

Patriarch Daniel delivered the report in plenary session, including summary figures on the archdiocese\u2019s administrative and pastoral work, economic and heritage management, cultural and missionary activity, education, and philanthropy.<\/p>\n

Philanthropy and social support<\/h2>\n

The value of social and charitable assistance provided last year to church institutions and people in difficulty amounted to around 2.2 million euros, alongside a number of social infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n

These projects included work on the construction of a day centre for children with hearing impairments in Bucharest; services offered through the \u201cSmile for All\u201d social dental clinic, run in partnership with Sector 2\u2019s child protection and social assistance directorate (DGASPC), where 780 patients were treated last year; and the submission of a project to establish a new palliative care centre in Ploie\u0219ti.<\/p>\n

Committee discussions and proposals for the new year<\/h2>\n

Detailed reports were subsequently reviewed by specialised committees, while deanery heads met separately for brief presentations and proposals for activities in the coming year.<\/p>\n

At the end of the meeting, members of the Archdiocesan Assembly approved the reports on 2025 activities, including the financial statement, as well as the draft budget for 2026.<\/p>\n
