Pope Leo XIV to send humanitarian mission to Ukraine

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Archbishop Luis Marín de San Martín, prefect of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity, will lead a humanitarian mission to Ukraine from Oct. 27 to 30. The Archbishop will visit Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, and Fastiv to convey the support of Pope Leo XIV to people affected by the ongoing conflict.

The mission, coordinated through the Apostolic Nunciature, includes meetings with Latin-rite and Greek Catholic communities. The visit comes ahead of a predicted harsh winter.

The mission coincides with a collection drive among Vatican employees and the Governorate of Vatican City State. Collected supplies include warm clothing, blankets, sheets, sleeping bags, and canned food. These items will be transported to Ukraine by road using the international TIR transit system.
