May 24, 2022 (Kalamazoo, Mich.): Bishop Paul J. Bradley released the following statement in the wake of the tragic school shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas
Considering the recent devastating destruction and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine Bishop Paul J. Bradley has requested a special collection for USCCB's Churches in Central and Eastern Europe fund the weekend of March 19/20. Checks should be made out to the parish with "Church in Central and Eastern Europe" written in the reference line. Funds collected will be distributed through the United States Bishops' Church in Central and Eastern Europe to fund the official relief agencies of the Catholic Church, such as Caritas Ukraine. Thank you for helping those most in need of God's healing love and support.
