Bishop McElroy and all the bishops of the United States are inviting all the faithful to contribute to a fund that will provide assistance to the victims of war in Ukraine. Our contributions, which are an expression of solidarity with the people of Ukraine, will assist the Church’s pastoral response and provide resources for humanitarian assistance.

Sacred Heart Church of OB will join with every parish community in the United States and designate a special collection for the people of the Ukraine this weekend, March 5 and 6. Please use the special envelopes marked “2022 Ukraine Crisis” in the bulletin and return them next week. Please make checks payable to “Sacred Heart Church.”

Please continue to pray for the Ukrainian people.

Pray that all nations may repent for aggression and violence that have brought pain and suffering to innocent people and work toward a just and lasting peace to the benefit of all, especially the Ukrainian people during this time, let us pray to the Lord.
