Fastiv, 8.06-15.06.2024

Praised be Jesus Christ!

We thank God and the AFU for the past week. With the Humanitarian Mission, we visited Donetsk Region, in particular Kostyantynivka, which is very close to the front line ( 6 km of bird’s flight from Chasiv Yar). The city is heavily shelled at night, many residents do not have water, most of the elderly are afraid to go out into the unknown…

We helped the victims with hygiene, products for long-term storage, means for water purification, and beds for shelters. We have also visited a mobile shelter in Druzhkivka, for people who lost their homes in the front-line villages. At the moment, 26 people live in the Shelter. One of the requests was: “Bring us flour.” We are glad that we could share what other good people gave us and the residents of the shelter began to bake bread. They do not lose hope and stick together.

We also visited the 208th Territorial Defense Brigade, where many of our Fastiv citizens serve, and handed them the necessary things.

The other day, the people responsible for our kitchen in Kherson came to visit us. We thank you for the joint service and ask God to bless and protect those who live in the front-line territory.

Our children from the Catholic School of St. Martin de Porres went on holidays to Yaremchi today. We wish the children a good rest, and a good time for the team of teachers!

This week, we distributed 1,674 food kits with a total of 13,384 kg of humanitarian aid to victims of military aggression.

Thanks to everyone who supported us this week for every donation and repost. Prepare for winter in summer, says the proverb, that’s why we collect gas burners, flashlights, generators, alternative power sources, and sew sleeping bags for our Defenders. If you can, support us by a donate or a repost. Thank you!

With prayers,

Fr. Mykhailo Romaniv OP
