Helping the people of Ukraine

During the Regina Caeli recited on Sunday, April 3, 2016, the Holy Father announced an extraordinary initiative to assist those who are suffering the consequences of violence in Ukraine.  A collection will be taken in all churches throughout Europe on Sunday, April 24, 2016.  The proceeds from this collection will be added to an ongoing amount of money that is placed at the disposition of the Holy Father and used to help the residents in areas which are affected by displaced persons.

The Pontifical Council Cor Unum is entrusted with the task of evaluating and approving the technical management of the fund, intended to help with projects which are screened locally and a special Commission.  Monsignor Giampietro Dal Toso, Secretary of Cor Unum will travel to the Ukraine by the end of April in order to meet with those who are assisting all those in need.
