SPECIAL COLLECTION FOR UKRAINE
Bishop Richard has asked us to hold a special collection for Ukraine this weekend following the call of Pope Francis for this to happen across Europe. Pope Francis said: "I am thinking of the ordeal of those who suffer the consequences of the violence in Ukraine: of the thousands of deaths, and of those - over a million - who have been forced to leave due to  the grave situation that persists." Bishop Borys Gudziak of Paris said to Vatican Radio for the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church: "Officially, ten thousand people have been killed" since the conflict erupted between government forces and pro-Russian separatists two years ago. "Tens of thousands have been maimed or injured: without legs, without arms, without eyes - paralyzed.  There are hundreds of thousands of people with post traumatic shock and several million people have been made homeless." People are exhausted, traumatized and hungry, and medicines are hard to find. There's shooting every day, there are people killed almost every day.
Please give what you can, and also pray, because prayer can move mountains.

PALLOTTINE PRAYER
POST-COMMUNION PRAYER
Divine Spirit, renew your wonders in our time, as though for a new Pentecost, and grant that the holy Church, preserving unanimous and continuous prayer, together with Mary the Mother of Jesus, and also under the guidance of St Peter, may increase the reign of the Divine Saviour, the reign of truth and justice, the reign of love and peace. Amen
St Vincent Pallotti, pray for us.
Mary, Mother of Divine Love, pray for us
