Praised be Jesus Christ!

This week, as is traditional, we are going on a pilgrimage, praying for our country, for our defenders, for all who help us, support us and who are close to us. We turn to the Blessed Virgin Mary of Berdychiv with a request for protection and help, we also ask for strength for further service.

We constantly receive appeals from our defenders – we support them and help. We continue our service in the Kherson region: we deliver water and bread into the villages of Sonyachne and Bohdanivka.

We sincerely thank Father Maksym for his openness and cooperation. This week we also received humanitarian aid from Poland – we thank the XENIA Association, Ms. Agnieszka Tombinska, the Freta Charitable Foundation, as well as everyone else who helps and supports us in this difficult time.

We express our gratitude to the French company “CONSERVES STEPHAN Représentée par: Frédéric LE BOUGEANT” and to the French association “COLLECTIF STADE LAMBALLAIS UKRAINE”, to Ms. Olga and Ms. Tetiana for their concern for Ukraine. We thank for their assistance and payment for the transportation of the full logistics from France to Ukraine of the humanitarian cargo to the company “Neon Effect”, Poland, and to Mr. Zygmunt Skolozhinsky – our friend, who is always there, supports and takes care of our affairs. Thanks to your support, the humanitarian cargo arrived safely in Ukraine. We are grateful to the French and Polish Partners for their closeness and solidarity.

Thank you to everyone who supported our urgent collection for fire extinguishers for the Komyshanskyi district this week, we have already collected 53,200 UAH. We are grateful for every smallest donation, our goal is 110,000 UAH. Support us – together we can do more!

With prayers
