More than $6,000 has been raised through online donations and those received through the second collection earlier this month.
"... help alleviate the catastrophic humanitarian crisis for the refugees of Ukraine and bring some relief to the families and children of Ukraine who have had their homes and security taken from them through violent force." - Bishop Kevin Sweeney
Following the collection, the Diocese of Paterson will make contributions to Caritas International and to the Archeparchy of Philadelphia for their Humanitarian Aid Fund for Ukraine.
