Thanks to the efforts of Pro Vita Iași, the pro-life department of the Romanian Orthodox Archdiocese of Iași, the house of a large family with 10 children is undergoing repairs and reconstruction. Interior renovation was started on Monday.

Mihai and Cristina Cârtițe and their 10 children are used to living simply and are satisfied with what little they have. Two of the family children, Sidonia and Ionela, are outstanding students and benefit from scholarships offered by the Archdiocese of Iași.

When Pro Vita Iași representatives visited, the roof was leaking, leaving only one inhabitable room, heated with an electric heater.

The project provides for the restoration of the entire house and the installation of utilities. One hallway will also be turned into a bathroom. Thus far, the new roof and exterior plastering of the house in Costești, Iași County, have been completed.

Work was delayed because of the rain and because the price of construction materials has gone up this year.

The remaining costs have been estimated to 16,000 Euros, of which 10,000 have already been donated by the Save a Heart Association.


Pro Vita Iași’s “Gift for Children” project aims to improve inhabiting conditions for the families included in the “St Stylianos” Solidarity Programme for Large Families of the Archdiocese of Iași. The programme also sponsors good students from large families.

Pro Vita Iași has functioned as a department of the Archdiocese of Iași since 2011 with the goal to protect and nurture life starting from conception. It offers support for mothers and families, it promotes the culture of life and pro-family education.

In 2018, the Metropolis of Moldavia and Bukovina decided to establish pro-life departments in all its eparchies.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
