The sisters of the religious community the Catechists of Saint Anne are devoted above all to working with children and young people.

They help to give children and young people a religious education and support them as they grow in faith and as individuals. The sisters also give catechetical instruction in several parishes and schools, organising activities for young people and Christian summer camps.

There are four of these religious living in their convent in the Horodotska Street in Lviv. In addition to their catechetical work in several of the parishes, they also visit the families, especially the poorer ones, bringing them food and clothing. Since the beginning of the war, however they have still more to do, as they are now also helping to look after the refugees, who have fled in large numbers from the areas of fighting to the west of Ukraine.

Now the sisters urgently need a vehicle for their work and for transporting essential goods and materials. But of course, they cannot afford this themselves. So, Sister Veronica Yaniv has written to us, asking our help to purchase a car. “The vehicle will greatly help us in our missionary work, and we would be most grateful for your support.”

Of course, we cannot ignore this appeal, and have immediately promised them €15,000. Will you help us?
