On October 15, 2025, on the anniversary of the death of OUN leader Stepan Bandera, clerics of the UGCC and the OCU held a memorial service at his monument in European Square in Ivano-Frankivsk. This was reported by the ugccif.org.ua website.
The event began with the anthem, after which representatives of the regional and local authorities addressed those present.
