PLEASE CONTINUE TO HELP! We continue to be deeply saddened by the daily news of the continuing catastrophes unfolding in Ukraine. We at CONU are hearing directly from our front-line missionaries about the resurgence of devastation and terrible attacks on innocent families, women, children, elderly, and the handicapped. At the same time, we’re inspired by the tenacity and bravery of the Ukrainian people. CONU remains steadfast to help keep safe the Ukrainian people in three of our dioceses that have been in the center of the madness. Again we see an increased need to assist refugees with protection and care for war victims placed in harm’s way. Therefore, we continue to ask for your prayers. Here is a recommended novena: Novena for Peace and Healing. We appreciate all financial support for our brave brothers and sisters in Ukraine. To learn more about our mission and history, please visit our website at https://conuhome.org/ There’s a top menu option to donate to our charity. 100% of donations are used to support current needs while doing our best to continue our humanitarian causes to provide healthcare, single-mother support, and revive Christianity in the Ukrainian people.
Help us help our brothers and sisters in Ukraine! Thank you and may God bless you!

Christmas Thank You from the House of Hope
Dear Friends from CONU. Thank you very much for your wishes! Thank you for always being close to us! Yesterday was Christmas. At 6:00 a.m. the shelling of Kharkov and its surroundings began and two rockets hit the electricity and heating station near us. We all got scared because it had been quiet for quite some time. We were without light until almost the evening. However, we decided that we would not let the joy of Christmas be taken away from us. In the morning there was a Holy Mass and then the children set off to sing Christmas carols to the neighbors. They handed out small gifts. Misha wished everyone with his loud voice. Then we had a candlelight dinner. We managed to cook it thanks to the generator. ? Everyone received gifts and there was really a lot of joy. It is a paradox – that during war everything is experienced somehow more deeply, more authentically, and relationships with people become closer and warmer. Children are joyful and full of energy, which they can infect everyone around them. We are sending you our childish joy. The children sang this song with you in mind! We remember you in our prayers. We always pray for the people who make it possible for our House of Hope to function. We are extremely grateful to you and grateful to God for taking such tender care of us and providing everything we need, and often even more, so that we can share with the children of the village. We hug you tightly, tightly! May GOD bless you!!! Sisters, Mothers and Children from the Houses of Hope
