Ukraine – Liberation of two Redemptorist priests

July 10, 2024

It is with immense gratitude that Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) informs of the release from Russian captivity of Fathers Ivan Levitsky and Bohdan Geleta, Redemptorists (C.S.s.R.), on June 28, 2024. This information has been confirmed by the information department of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC), to which they belong. The Russian army had captured them in November 2022. Here is a small photo album and a short video of this happy event.

Please continue to pray for the return of peace to Ukraine.
