alert

arrived at St. Vladimir’s Ukrainian Catholic Church on Sunday morning to pray
for peace in their homeland.

Russian forces continue their invasion of Ukraine, many on Long Island are

During
Sunday Mass, Father Wasyl Hrynkiw prayed for the
protection of the people of Ukraine.
“We
offer this liturgy for the salvation for Ukraine…and
for the protection of God for the innocent people who are killed by Russian
soldiers – children, mothers, elderly who are brutally killed,”
prayed Father Hrynkiw.
