The third summer patronal feast was celebrated in the church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in one of the military dugout churches in the area of the special military operation. 
The festive service was led by the head of the military department of the Crimean Metropolis, Archpriest Dmitry Krotkov, in collaboration with military priests of the Simferopol and Crimean dioceses, seconded military volunteer priests of the Synodal Department for Cooperation with the Armed Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies, and full-time military priests of the units.
The deaconate was performed by Hierodeacon Innokenty (Yukhimenko), a resident of the Nikolo-Ugreshsky Stavropol Monastery in Moscow.
The liturgical chant was performed by Archpriest Nikolai Samborsky, a cleric of the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Simferopol (Simferopol City Deanery).
Andrey Tanygin, the head of the St. Andrew's House of Mercy in Sevastopol, assisted in clerical reading and sexton service. 

During the divine service, special petitions were made and a prayer was read for holy Russia and for the army of our Fatherland. 

Soldiers prayed at the liturgy, most of whom confessed and received communion of the holy Mysteries of Christ.
After the liturgy, all the soldiers gathered for prayer were congratulated with gifts with letters from students of the Sunday school of Peter and Paul Cathedral in Simferopol (Simferopol City Deanery)
