Fr. Dr. Roman will share firsthand insight into how the Church continues to form leaders and serve the faithful amid war.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will also hear from <strong>Anastasiia Hryniuk, CNEWA\u2019s Ukraine Program Coordinator<\/strong>, who will provide important insights and updates on CNEWA\u2019s current programs, the urgent needs on the ground, and how your support is making a direct impact.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this webinar, you will:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hear firsthand about the realities facing families and vulnerable communities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn how CNEWA Canada\u2019s partnership with the local Church is delivering concrete, life-sustaining assistance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discover how your solidarity makes hope tangible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have a time to ask any questions on your minds and hearts for Ukraine&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr. Adriana Bara<\/strong>, National Director of CNEWA Canada and webinar moderator, will also join the conversation to discuss how you can take part in supporting this urgent mission.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the war continues, communities endure relentless hardship \u2014 winter blackouts, damaged energy infrastructure, displacement, trauma, and critical shortages of food, fuel, and medical supplies. In the midst of this suffering, the Church in Ukraine has become a lifeline. Parish halls now serve as heating stations and shelters where families can warm themselves, receive hot meals, charge their phones, and find refuge from the cold and uncertainty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Registration link <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/Wd3mkfz0SXKWbqnEPYKCaQ\"><strong>HERE&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that the webinar will be recorded and the video will be posted to our website shortly afterwards.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for your continued love, care and support of our efforts, as we continue to work and pray for lasting peace.
