Ukraine Seminary in Gorodok
We have received a letter from
Fr Oleksandr Yazlovetskiy,
Rector of the Seminary in
Gorodok, thanking our parish for
the special collection – they are
deeply touched by the support
and generosity shown towards
them. The current political
situation in Ukraine has created
many financial problems for
them with the inflated cost of
living and the shortage of gas
supply. The seminary relies
greatly on the support from
beneficiaries, to enable them to
run and maintain the building the money that has been
donated is going towards the
cost of installing two wood
burning boilers giving them an
alternative means of heating. Fr
Olek sends his blessing and
prayers for our parish and
families and asks us to please
pray for peace in their country.
