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

Songs of Hope for Ukraine
0:00
Danylo and Alexander Fedoryka — the founders of the folk band Scythian — grew up in a household rooted in Ukrainian traditions and in Catholic faith. After nearly 20 years as a band, they have not forgotten the lesson their mother imparted to them: that music is an avenue to evangelize and show God’s love. The brothers, who are members of John Carrell Jenkins Council 7771 in Front Royal, Va., have been living out that vocation by performing traditional Ukrainian songs with their band to raise funds for those suffering from the invasion of Ukraine. The group asked fans to donate to the Knights of Columbus Ukraine Solidarity Fund, which is providing humanitarian aid including shelter, food, medical supplies and clothing, for refugees and displaced people. Until March 1, 2023, 50% of the proceeds from all sales of Scythian music on this platform (https://official-scythian-merch-store.myshopify.com) will go to the Order’s Ukraine Solidarity Fund in support of ongoing relief efforts.
