K of C Family Answers Call to Shelter Refugees
0:00
When the invasion of Ukraine began, the Poland State Council notified Knights of Columbus leaders that they were gathering names and contact information of individuals and families who could accept refugees from Ukraine. Włodzimierz Stec, grand knight of Our Lady of La Salette Council 15142 in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, in central Poland, and his wife, Edyta, agreed to house at least four people. On March 5, Włodzimierz received a call that a family from Kremenchuk, in central Ukraine — Alina and her three sons, 2-year-old Zahar, 6-year-old Makar and 9-year-old Maksym — needed a place to stay. The Stecs took in the family, and though welcoming a trio of rambunctious children into their home has brought big changes to their normally tranquil life, the Stecs practice patience, knowing that the most important thing is to help those in need. “We give them everything we can: that is love, above all care and prayer,” Włodzimierz said.
