War in Ukraine

Ukraine must develop “a new social consensus” and “a new constitution” to ensure its post-war future, said Archbishop Borys Gudziak and several other endorsers of a June 28 document from Lviv’s Ukrainian Catholic University.

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.

For the past several months, Nataliia Batyhina, a development professional at Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, has headed up a small army of volunteers from the school to prepare food for front-line soldiers battling Russia’s invasion.

At a military hospital in western Ukraine, doctors are drawing on faith and the gifts of creation to heal the wounds of war.
