Fastiv, 25-26.04.2022

Christ rose from the dead!

During these days our Eastern Rite brothers were celebrating Easter! We, too, made every effort to accompany them with their Easter joy, sharing it with those in need. The tide of displaced persons is growing: today they are shooting at Mikolajow, and we are praying for our Friends who are trying to escape from there. The same applies to those who want to leave the Donetsk region – there is also the burning roller of war going there… Therefore, we especially ask for prayers for them, that they would dare to leave the places of residence that are currently dangerous, and that a suitable transport and a place where they could go are found!

We are trying to deliver help to the villages destroyed by the war – we continue to arrange gas in cylinders, construction foil and, of course, food. In Borodyanka, which has suffered greatly from the actions of the Russian Federation troops, they are building light temporary buildings so that people have the opportunity to return and live somewhere for a while. Therefore, we would like to ask you to help with appropriate equipment for equipping such temporary structures. We need a large washing machine and a dryer for linen, small and large dishes, gas cookers, water heaters, mattresses, duvets, pillows and bedding. All these things can be sent to us (Fastiv) in Ukraine, and to Warsaw («Charytatywni Freta») in Poland. Thank you very much for the help of the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Scapular in Berdyczów, first of all – the curator of the Shrine, Father Witalij Kozak ОСD!

May the Risen Christ bless all those who pray for us and help us in this difficult time! Glory to Him forever and ever, amen!
