Archbishop Coakley encourages gifts to the Collection to Aid the Church in Central and Eastern Europe. This collection will allow the faithful to make a timely contribution and provide assistance to the victims of war in Ukraine, among many other projects the Collection supports in the region.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is uniquely positioned to provide aid to the region having built strong relationships with bishops in the region over the last 30 years. During the time, the Church in the United States has provided assistance in the development of the Church's capacity to respond to pastoral and social needs.
A robust response at this moment will allow the Catholic Church in the United States to continue to be a strong partner in the rebuilding and restoring of the Church in Central and Eastern Europe, and to give critical and timely humanitarian aid now for Ukraine.
Our Lady, Queen of Peace, Pray for us!
