PLEASE HELP NOW! We all are deeply saddened by the daily news of the continuing catastrophe unfolding in Ukraine. We at CONU are hearing directly from our front-line missionaries about the 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 has reached deep into our funding to help keep safe the Ukrainian people in three of our dioceses that have been in the center of the madness. Our latest distribution of funding is being used to assist refugees who need protection and care for war victims placed in harm’s way. Unfortunately, due to the extent and duration of the impact from these terrible times, our ability to provide continued support to these efforts and our previous mission is in jeopardy of being discontinued. Therefore, now more than ever, we ask for your prayers and 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.

UPDATE: Our donation web page has been updated so that potential donors can specifically designate their contributions for refugee relief. That is the most immediate and pressing need. Help us help our brothers and sisters in Ukraine! Thank you and may God bless you!

Building Parishes and Church Centers to Serve All!

CONU, through generous donors, are constructing a new Church – Divine Mercy Church in Myrgorod Ukraine

Ukrainians Leaders in Formation

The physical structures of the Ukrainian Churches were largely destroyed by the Soviets, but with Ukrainian freedom, came the possibility of building Parish Churches to serve the spiritual and physical needs of the Ukrainian community.

Now, in addition to rebuilding the Church Buildings, we have a pressing need to train new priests in a setting where they can interact with the Catholic Laity. The vision of Bishop Leon is to construct this new type of Catholic Formation Center called the Saint John Paul II Pastoral Formation Center. It would include an Ecumenical Laity Center, a Seminary, and a Care Center to serve the emotional, spiritual, and physical needs of Ukrainians.

Click the link below and watch the video as Bishop Leon Dubrawski and Bishop Radoslaw Zmitrowicz decribe their vision.

St John Paul II Formation Center – Ukraine

Want to see What God is Doing in the Land of Martyrs?

Christ leads us by opening our eyes to the needs of the Ukrainian people, as we partner with the Ukrainian people. Your donations allow Ukrainian Parishes to minister to the community, including the old, the young, the disabled, the poor, the sick and hungry, and those needing spiritual support.

Watch this June 2018 discovery of Soviet repression, in an unused monastic building, recently returned back to the Ukrainian Diocese of Kamyanets-Podilskyi from the government. As they took possession of the abandoned building they discovered the bones of many clergy and religious victims.

Bishop Leon blesses the bones of these newly found martyrs from decades ago in the video link below!

I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO GIVES ME STRENGTH.

“Dearest Lord, Reveal Yourself in us,

Help us to see You in others, Teach us to share You with all. Amen”

The people of the Ukraine have seen tough times for sure, but that presents a huge opportunity and openness to hearing the saving message of the Gospel. Your donation of any amount helps us continue our ministry and be on the frontlines in a place that is often in the headlines.

God at Work

CONU (Catholic Outreach to Northern Ukraine) for 24 years has expressed the love of God in so many ways: repair and building of churches destroyed or destructively remodeled and used for Communist needs for more than 50 years; donated clothes and monies to orphanages, mental, physical and spiritual help in these post communist days. CONU in these past years have given prayer, time, money for buildings of prayer, for spiritual, emotional and physical care and education. In these more than 24 years, the personal giving and receiving of so many people have revealed God Our Father’s love, so well expressed in these many relationships brought together in these post communist times. Restoration of buildings and bodies helps rediscover dignity of the human person.
