Orphans in Ukraine

Scranton’s St. Vladimir Ukrainian Greek Catholic parishioners have “adopted” children living in an orphanage in Kolomyia, Western Ukraine. On a regular basis articles of clothing, foot wear and goodies are sent to these beautiful boys and girls who are without parents due to war, illness or abandonment. Pictured are some of the girls who posed with a portion of the gifts they recently received from their friends in America.

Podyaka / Thank You

Thank you Most Loyal Priest Myron and church members:

We thank you for the Christian donation for the orphanage of St. Nicholas in the city of Kolomyia. And for your repeated help for the orphan children, in the honor of God, and for the good of the Ukrainian nation.

We send you greetings and pray the Most Merciful Lord Jesus Christ blesses you with strength and good health. May Saint Nicholas beseech God’s embrace and the Blessed Mother grant you and your family strength in spirit and body for many happy and blessed years.

Sister Veronica

Director of the Orphanage of St. Nicholas in Kolomyia, Ukraine
