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.”

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.
