Pope Francis’ Prayer for Peace in Ukraine: 1st Anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

In this video, we reflect on the sad one year anniversary of the start of the Russian invasion in Ukraine and how the Holy See, led by Pope Francis and Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, launched its own offensive to ease the plight of the Ukrainian people and bring an end to the war. 

We discuss the church’s diplomatic efforts and the humanitarian aid provided by Cardinal Konrad Krajewski on behalf of Pope Francis. We also share Pope Francis’ recent call to end the horrors of war and pray for peace. Join us in remembering the victims of the conflict and advocating for a peaceful solution to the crisis in Ukraine. #ukraine #ukrainewar
