Knight Provides Housing for Ukrainian Refugees
0:00
Adam Weigel, a member of St. Brother Albert Chmielowski Council 15128 in Kraków, Poland, operates a transportation and mechanics company that ships goods all over Europe. On Feb. 24, he learned of the Russian invasion of Ukraine from an employee originally from Kharkiv, in eastern Ukraine. He told the employee that any relatives who were still there would have a place to stay in a large housing unit near the company’s headquarters. Weigel and his wife have since welcomed and provided aid for more than 39 Ukrainian refugees. Speaking of his identity as a Knight of Columbus, Weigel said, “Our mission was given to us by Blessed Father Michael McGivney. He was combating the effects of industrialization on family life and working toward unity. And by a complete accident, I find myself working toward the same goal now.” Become a Knight: http://kofc.org/joinus Subscribe now to keep up with the Knights! http://bit.ly/SubscribeKnightsOfColumbus Stay connected on social media: https://www.facebook.com/KnightsofColumbus https://twitter.com/kofc https://www.instagram.com/kofc_official Visit us at: http://www.kofc.org
