When we visited Ukraine, we asked the people what we could do for them. "Send us more medical equipment," they all said. "And as important, tell everyone at home what is happening to us here." We promised we would, and that is the motivation for the "Church Bells and Air Raid Sirens" presentation -- to share the stories of the Ukrainians we met, and talk about what else we can do to support healthcare amid war in Ukraine. In this presentation, Erica Smith, executive director of Hospital Sisters Mission Outreach, will talk about how faith communities are working to address the needs of Ukrainians and how Mission Outreach (in partnership with members of the Catholic Response for Ukraine) will continue to be involved in short- and long-term recovery efforts, even as the conflict continues. Erica will also share photos and stories about meeting with Latin Catholic leaders in Ukraine, including the Archbishop of Lviv and the Archbishop of Kyiv (who also serves as the Papal Nuncio.)
