Pope Leo XIV's almoner visits Ukraine

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Archbishop Luis Marín de San Martín, the prefect of the Dicastery for Charity, visited Ukraine on October 28 to meet with people and organizations affected by the war. Traveling on behalf of Pope Leo XIV, the archbishop met with humanitarian centers and Church communities to offer support to families, children, older people, and soldiers.

During his visit to two cities, the archbishop met with volunteers and religious communities providing food, shelter, and psychological support. He observed students in classrooms and children waiting in lines for bread. Archbishop Marín de San Martín stated that the war, which began with the Russian invasion in February 2022, should not leave Christians indifferent.

The visit coincides with a Vatican effort to provide material aid. Vatican employees organized a collection of goods, including 600 boxes of food, blankets, and winter clothing, which were sent to Ukraine in several trucks.
