They are offering hospitality and shelter to women and children refugees in Przemysl, and other centers with their General House in Stara Wies, near Brzozow. Their focus is to provide:
- Places of welcome
- Shelter
- Food
- Medicine
- Clothing and basic necessities
- Spiritual and Psychological Support
- Child products and games
Sisters Serving in Ukraine
Additionally, in eight locations in Ukraine, over 25 sisters have decided to stay at their homes and are being exposed to the war’s uncertainty of tomorrow, but still accepting into their homes, or to their parish premises, people fleeing from the areas of the heaviest fighting, and offering a variety of help.
Recently, the sisters who worked from Odessa had to go to a safer place where they continue to experience firsthand the effects of the war by:
- Caring for wounded soldiers
- Participating in the preparation of meals for combatants
A Message From The Sisters
Please read Mother Beata Chwistek's (Superior General of Little Servant Sisters) Letter of Gratitude to initial Donors.
She mentions more details about what they are currently facing and states the sisters are experiencing a great specific need of funds for Food, Hygiene Products, Bandages, and Medicine.
Let us also join together and share whatever assistance we can. Our sisters and the refugees will most certainly need it.
CARITAS For Children- Back To Our Roots
The inspiration for the ministry which eventually became CARITAS For Children began when our founders, Christopher and Barbara Hoar, adopted two children from an orphanage in Poland run by these sisters.
Since our official beginning in 1998, CARITAS has continued the relationship with the sisters by supporting them in running their orphanages in Poland.
To help the Little Servant Sisters in their ministry to the Refugees and those still suffering in Ukraine, we are sending 100% of the first 120k of donations directly to the sisters on the frontlines in Ukraine and Poland. After that, CARITAS will use a small percentage to pay for the processing and incurred expenses.
