When the bombing began in Kyiv, Roman and Olga Panivnyk made the difficult decision to leave their homeland behind for their children’s safety. They escaped to Poland, where they were immediately assisted by Roman’s brother Knights of Columbus. The Panivnyks later arrived in Pennsylvania, where they are living with a relative. On March 16, the family made a pilgrimage to New Haven, Conn., where they visited with Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly at the Supreme Council headquarters and gave thanks at St. Mary’s Church for the intercession of Blessed Michael McGivney.
