St. Volodymyr's Parish

Pope Francis also had greetings for those Christians who, following the Julian calendar, are celebrating Easter on Sunday. "I wish to send to these brothers and sisters a special greeting,” he said, "uniting myself to them with all my heart in proclaiming the joyful news: Christ is risen!” He prayed especially for those celebrating Easter amongst "trials and sufferings,” praying that the Holy Spirit would give them "counsel and consolations” and guide them "in the ways of peace and reconciliation.”
