Parishes and young people from the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church visited a boarding house in Kyiv ahead of a day of prayer for orphans, according to a report from the church’s information department. About a hundred girls and women of all ages live at the facility.
Young parishioners bought food, prepared it for transport, and joined the visit. The effort was coordinated by O. Michael Kramar. Charitable groups also contributed hygiene products, soap and sweets. St. Vladimir’s Food Fund provided baby food.
Clergy who took part agreed to return to the boarding house on the eve of St. Nicholas. They plan to bring further help and, if possible, to fulfill the wishes they heard during the meeting.
The day of prayer for orphans is traditionally observed on a Sunday. The parish of the Patriarchal Cathedral said the day calls people to pray for children who lack parental care and to support those in need, a concern for protecting the vulnerable (Psalm 82:3).
