The Archbishop of Liverpool, the Most Reverend Malcolm McMahon OP, has launched an urgent and major appeal in the Archdiocese of Liverpool to support Ukraine.

The archdiocese has connections with Ukraine as Bishop Hryhoriy (Gregory) Komar, the auxiliary bishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy (diocese) of Sambir-Drohobych in the Lviv region of western Ukraine was taught by Liverpool priest Father Francis Marsden while studying for the priesthood.

Ukrainian priest, Father Taras Khomych, serves at Liverpool's Ukrainian Catholic parish - based at St Sebastian's RC Church in Fairfield. Father Taras led prayers for Ukraine at the cathedral vigil on 4 March, he also comes from Lviv and has family there.

The appeal gives the opportunity for both financial donations and the donation of items which may be left at 40 centres throughout the archdiocese. Financial donations will be sent to the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy (diocese) of the Holy Family of London and our partner diocese in Sambir-Drohobych.
