War in Ukraine

A Catholic university community in western Ukraine is reeling from a July 6 missile attack on the city of Lviv, located less than 50 miles from the Polish border.

Amid the heat of combat, “the most important thing is not just to do the medicine, which comes automatically, but to be able to gather your thoughts and be focused in these stressful situations.”

As Russia seeks to destroy Ukraine through a full-scale invasion, Ukrainians — and the West itself — must commit to building “a culture that gives life,” said Metropolitan Archbishop Borys Gudziak, head of Ukrainian Catholics in the U.S.

After driving more than 1,900 miles, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, papal almoner, arrived in Kherson to show closeness to a community shattered by war and a devastating flood.
