Please pray for the victims of war and material support for them.
Russia's aggression towards Ukraine, which we are witnessing, is causing the tragedy of millions of our neighbors. The Marians are at the center of these tragic events. They work in five offices in Ukraine: in Kharkiv, Khmelnytsky, Mohylów Podolski, Chernivtsi and Gródek. They are not going to leave their faithful. They want to come to them urgently, but their needs exceed their capabilities.
That is why we are asking you, brothers and sisters, to pray for those affected by military operations and to provide material support for them. Your victims will directly help both those who remained on the spot and those who reach Poland. At the present time, the best we can do is be in solidarity with those in need.
Dear Sister, Dear Brother, we strongly encourage you to support the victims of Ukraine.
Please pay the victims to the account:

God bless you for your generosity!
In Licheń, prayers for an end to hostilities in Ukraine and for peace in that country continue. Pilgrims and parishioners are encouraged to support refugees and pray for Ukraine. A special prayer with the image of Our Lady of Licheń was prepared, and the Parish Team to Help Refugees was established. Virtually the entire neighborhood was actively involved in helping. One of the families has found refuge in the parish house and the Licheń parishioners have so far welcomed about 60 people into their homes.
The Religious House of the Congregation of Marian Fathers cooperates with the Voivode of Greater Poland and the local self-government. The monks decided to make the entire "Nazareth" Pilgrim House at the disposal of the refugees. In the vicinity of the place where Our Lady appeared 172 years ago, there are currently 64 refugees, mainly mothers with children, including several babies. Many families came with practically nothing. They came to Lichen from various parts of Ukraine, both from its western part, such as Lutsk, and from the east, such as from Kharkiv.
"All village councils from the parish area joined the aid, we all collected gifts for refugees" - explains Magdalena Guźniczak, one of the people coordinating the local aid. There are 4 collection points in the parish that collect and distribute food to refugees, cleaning agents and medicines. A fund for medical resources was also created for people who fall ill during their stay in Licheń. Some children have already joined classes in primary school. IN Domu Pielgrzyma „Nazaret” Polish language lessons were organized for them.
Marian Fathers serve in five parishes in Ukraine: in Kharkiv, Chmielnicki, Mohylów Podolski, Czerniowce and Gródek. “They are not going to leave their faithful. They want to come to them urgently, but the needs go beyond their capabilities, ”we read on the website Association of Marian Helpers, which supports the activities of the monks - "Things are systematically transferred to refugees, who are constantly provided by Marian Fathers who minister in Ukraine."
On SPM's Facebook profile news and photos from Kharkiv are published almost every day.
All Marian parishes in Poland joined the financial and material aid for Ukraine, either directly or through the agency Caritas Polska.
