Prayer for Peace in Ukraine and Act of Spiritual Communion prayers are below so you can pray them with the priest at the appropriate time:

Prayer for Peace in Ukraine

Mary, Queen of Peace,
save us all, who have so much trust in you,
from wars, hatred and oppression.
Make us all learn to live in peace,
and educate ourselves for peace,
do what is demanded by justice and
respect the rights of every person,
so that peace may be firmly established.
Amen.

Act of Spiritual Communion Prayer

My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

Aiding the Humanitarian Crisis in Ukraine

Various Catholic agencies are collecting donations to aid with the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, as people flee to escape Russian bombing and shelling. Here are some places to donate.
This list is not exhaustive.

The international Caritas confederation is collecting funds to help Caritas Ukraine. In the United States, that is through
 Catholic Relief Services. Internationally, you can donate through
 Caritas Internationalis.

The Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia also has a
 link to donate.

Two pontifical agencies also are taking donations for Ukraine:
 Catholic Near East Welfare Association and
 Aid to the Church in Need. Internationally, Aid to the Church can be reached here.

The Knights of Columbus launched the Ukraine Solidarity Fund for humanitarian needs in Ukraine and through refugee
sites in Poland.

Donations can also be made to Jesuit Refugee Service to support the agency’s work with those forced to flee conflict in Europe.
The Salesians also are accepting donations to help refugees

Please be generous and offer your prayers for the end of the
war in Ukraine.

If you are an adult interested in becoming Catholic, or are already Catholic and desire to complete your sacraments by getting confirmed, contact Christine Brandt, cbrandt@smlparish.org, or 609-654-8208 ext. 113.
