“Caritas-Pechers’k” sent 76 care packages to the needy

Parochial service of mercy “Caritas-Pechers’k,” based out of the Church of Saint Nicolas on Askol'd’s grave, sent 76 care packages to the needy. A portion of the gifts are intended for children, whose mothers are imprisoned, while the rest is for families that became victims of severe flooding in the village of Voskresentsi, Kolomyja district of the Ivano-Frankivs’k region.  “We did not forget about the mothers who must carry out their punishment in prison. This work is being carried out by volunteers, such as Martha Blikhar, Maryana Chereshnivs’ka among others. We invite volunteers to contribute to this mission of merciful service and to pray for the needy. We are especially in a need of lawyer who could offer help to the imprisoned mothers, to regain the custody of their left behind children,” explained Fr. Ihor Onyshkevych, pastor of the church, to Oranta.
