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. In solidarity with our suffering brothers and sisters, Archbishop Gomez has asked all parishes to consider conducting a non-mandatory special collection during the weekends of March 12-13 and March 19-20, 2022. All checks should be made payable to The Society for the Propagation of the Faith- memo: Ukraine Disaster. Donations may be mailed to Society for the Propagation of the Faith, 3424 Wilshire Blvd- 3rd Floor, Los Angeles CA 90010. If anyone wishes to make an online donation, they may do so at https://missionsla.org/product/donate-1312/ and specify Ukraine Disaster in the memo box. 100% of the collection will go towards those affected by this horrible situation.
