More active work of parishes in the Archbishopric in the field of organization of lectures, book presentations, concerts, literary evenings, etc. have conditioned the activity of VDS in this department to be significantly reduced, but also to redirect some other departments and activities. As a result, compared to previous years, the number of lectures and books presented was significantly reduced.

At the moment, the activities of the department of religious education are actively taking place in the areas of:

1. Free foreign language classes and other school subjects and
2. Homework section – Old crafts, embroidery, sewing, better known as Women’s work section.

The legal counseling center provides free legal assistance every Wednesday from 1 pm and on Fridays from 12 noon, regarding the resolution of all disputable issues, marital problems, property, etc.

Lawyers Miloš Stefanović and lawyer Ana Videnov provide assistance in more than 400 various cases annually.

This department has a duty to help people solve problems in the family, marriage and raising children through its counseling, which is one of the most sensitive segments of life. Our advisors often participate in radio shows on these topics. The work includes: a priest (clergyman), a doctor and a social worker.

At the head of this department is Dr. Milijana Savić, who in recent years has been extremely active in the field of helping families, children, mothers with nutrition and breastfeeding, and who is at the head of the organization “Help the Family”.

The opening of a new modernly equipped Church kitchen with a large warehouse space in Zemun Polje enabled uninterrupted work on the preparation of a large number of meals. Throughout the year, over 2000 meals were prepared on weekdays. During the month of August, the Church Kitchen takes a summer break due to the necessary works on servicing and maintenance of kitchen appliances and painting the rooms.

The department is headed by chef Slaviša Dašić. He is assisted by Uroš Stanković as the coordinator for church kitchens and the driver, Milan Primožić as the driver and Bojan Udovičić as the organizer of the central checkpoint in Francuska Street No. 31.

The most significant strength of the Church Kitchen department is made up of volunteers with their work, dedicated time, love and patience. Without their selfless help, work would be almost impossible.

Cooked meals are distributed at the temples next to the dining room in France 31:

Ascension of the Lord on Žarkovo
Sv. The great martyr Prince Lazarus of Zvezdara
Assembly of Serbian Saints in Karaburma and
Sv. The Great Martyr George in Bežanija.

One of the main goals of this department is to create a practical spiritual and social program for monitoring and helping nursing homes, homes for children with disabilities, the visually impaired, the deaf, without parental care and similar institutions. This set goal has been achieved in many ways, and somewhere the cooperation with the social protection institutions of the city is slowly starting. Visits are made in agreement with the institution, the competent priest or clergyman. They are usually organized on the Sunday after St. Liturgies. Several volunteers are participating in the visit, together with the head of the department and the priest. Orthodox press such as Orthodoxy, Orthodox missionary, Saint Sava’s bell, prayer books, icons and rosaries, fruit, sweets, if you visit the orphanage and other gifts, are always visited.
