Our community provides chaplaincy support in combat zones along the entire front line. The presence of a chaplain, even for a short time, is a symbol of God's care for each soldier and a reminder that God's strength is enough to withstand the most difficult circumstances.
We visit Ukraine's defenders regularly in their locations near the contact line to build long-term, deep relationships and friendships that would become inspiration, comfort, meaningful reflection on their vocation, and an act of boundless gratitude to the soldiers for their willingness to pay the ultimate price for the dignity and freedom of our nation.
In addition to gifts from home and necessities, we bring them prayer, God's Word, the Holy Eucharist (which is sometimes the only and often the last way for a soldier to experience God in his life) and the incomprehensible presence of God.
We also take care of the morale of the soldiers, working on ways to prevent addictions, emotional depression and despair.
We plan and carry out all our trips and meetings in such a way that through them the soldier's heart can hear the words from the Lord Himself: “Do not be afraid, I am with you!”
"Don't be afraid, I am with you!"
