THE HEAD OF OUR CHURCH MAKES A SPECIAL APPEAL

Sviatoslav, the head of the Ukrainian Catholic Church, has issued an appeal for aid to help Ukrainian Catholic parishes remain functional during the winter and the ongoing Russian invasion.

Bishop Michael of the Eparchy of New Westminster stated that these parishes serve as centers for sacramental grace and spiritual consolation, while also acting as hubs for humanitarian aid such as food, water, and medical care. Sviatoslav remains in Ukraine to be with his people, except when traveling abroad to seek aid or encourage unity.

Parish priests in the Eparchy of New Westminster will hold special collections or fundraising opportunities this Sunday or over the next few weeks to support this request.
