We fly to Thy protection,
O Holy Mother of God;
Do not despise our petitions
in our necessities,
but deliver us always
from all dangers,
O Glorious and Blessed Virgin. Amen.
(Prayer to the Virgin Mary, 3rd century).

Given the recent events in Ukraine and the devastation that our brothers and sisters have had to face with the uncertainties in their country that has been ongoing since last month and while over 1.5 million of Ukrainians have fled their homes from the ongoing fighting into nearby countries and over two thousand lives have been loss and thousands more injured, we are asking for your help.

During this time, Ukraine is in solemn need of our prayers and support as they face such devastating loss and tragedy within their country. Pope Francis tells us, “In God, no act of love, no matter how small, and no ‘generous effort’ will ever be lost.”  Pope Francis has encouraged help for the people of Ukraine.
