The Irish Bishops have requested that a special collection be taken up at Masses on the weekend 26-27 March to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine and especially the families and children who had to flee their homeland in advance of the Russian invasion. The proceeds of this Special Collection will be directed to Caritas Internationalis, which is the helping hand of the Church on the ground in the Ukraine and the surrounding region. This collection will replace the Share collection and the envelopes for the second collection can be used for the special Ukraine collection. Please be as generous as you can. Thank you.
