Who is My Neighbor?
Many fellow parishioners have stepped in to help Ukrainian refugee families seek safety in the US under a United for Ukraine program. The program allows US sponsors to provide financial support, assistance and housing for for up to two years. Many families are currently stuck in temporary living conditions in European countries and need us to to sponsor and or host these families until they can become self-sufficient.
For those interested in changing the lives of these industrious and hard working people, a local group under the leadership of MG Guerra* have been doing an amazing job of matching US sponsors with Ukrainian families and flying Ukrainians to safety.
