A Knight’s Mission to Ukraine

0:00

When the invasion of Ukraine began Feb. 24, Father Jason Charron resolved to act — specifically to help bring refugees and orphans out of danger. Father Charron, a married Ukrainian Catholic priest and a Knight in Pennsylvania, was in Ukraine two days later, leading 22 children out of the country to safety in Lithuania. He later returned to Ukraine in June, bringing with him 8,000 pounds of medical supplies. “My calling as a husband, a father, a priest and a Knight all revolve around that central mission of defending the holy things of God,” he said. “As Knights, we follow the example of Father Michael McGivney to defend the widow and the orphan.”
