Special Collection for Humanitarian Aid for Ukraine:
To those who wish to show their support for Ukraine and its people we suggest donating to the Catholic Near East Association (CNEWA) which works directly with Caritas Ukraine. Please donate to CNEWA through our Basilian Parishes or directly online:
Parishioners can also donate online through the Eparchial website,
https://eeparchy.com/donate/, or by using the specially marked blue envelopes available in the church vestibule. All donations will be forwarded to the Eparchy, and we will send all funds collected to those organizations already in Ukraine providing support and aid. Please be generous. (All donations are tax-deductible).
