With many Catholics requesting ways to support the Ukrainian people, Archbishop Rozanski has shared several online disaster relief options and a prayer composed by Deacon Eugene Logusch, administrator of St. Mary's Assumption Ukrainian Catholic Church in St. Louis.
"With the ever-changing situation in the Ukraine, the Archdiocese of St. Louis recommends the following two suggestions for getting aid to the people of Ukraine:
The first option for aid is through the UKRAINIAN CATHOLIC ARCHDIOCESE OF PHILADELPHIA. If you either take up a second collection or a poor box collection for aid, checks may be sent directly to the Ukrainian Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The check should be marked “Humanitarian Aid Fund for Ukraine.” The address is 810 N. Franklin Street, Philadelphia, PA 19123. Electronic donations can be made HERE.
CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES is well known for its presence to disaster areas for bringing immediate aid to those who are in need. Donations may be sent to Catholic Relief Services/Humanitarian Aid for Ukraine. Please send checks to 228 W. Lexington Street, Baltimore, MD 21201-3443 or donations can be directly made through the Catholic Relief Services website HERE.
We thank you for your prayers, concern and willingness to help out our brothers and sisters who are in such a dire situation."
