Pray and Fast for Peace on Ash Wednesday

On Ash Wednesday, as we pray and fast, Pope Francis encourages all followers of Christ to intentionally hold our brothers and sisters in the Ukraine in our hearts. Dedicate your prayer and fasting to bring peace.

The Diversity and Inclusivity group would also like to express their solidarity with our brothers and sisters from the Ukraine. We pray for peace and hold the people of Ukraine in our prayers.

If you can help with a monetary donation, your help is needed in Ukraine where there is great risk of suffering both within Ukraine and for those who may flee to neighboring countries for safety. CRS and it’s partners are responding and need immediate support to meet both ongoing needs, as well as those related to families forced to flee their homes as the situation intensifies. CRS and Caritas partners are ready to provide safe shelter, hot meals, hygiene supplies, fuel to keep warm, transport to safe areas, counseling support and more.
