Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in Berlin, Germany, to receive archdiocese collection for refugee work

Today’s collection in the Archdiocese of Berlin is intended for the work of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in the archdiocese.

The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church is in full communion with the Pope but follows the Byzantine rite. Bishop Bohdan is an advisory member of the German Bishops’ Conference.

Thousands of Ukrainian refugees have found a, at least temporary, home in Berlin. For many of them, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church is an expression of their religious and cultural identity and also a point of contact for everyday problems, offering a place of belonging to people far from their homeland (Matthew 25:35).

The collection will be made available to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church for its work with refugees.
