Diocesan Caritas and Ukrainian refugee reception
The commitment of the Italian Church continues to welcome refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine, in neighboring countries and in our country. Three humanitarian flights were organized this week thanks to the collaboration with the NGO Solidaire and the support of Open Arms. These flights, which arrive from the airports of Fiumicino, Cagliari and Palermo, our airports, over 600 Ukrainian citizens to arrive in Italy and to be understood by about 40 diocesan Caritas in the country. To support the commitment of Caritas Italiana and favor as much as possible the reception of refugees fleeing the war, the Caritas Diocesana of Rimini sent 25,000.00 euros to Caritas Italiana, the result of the first fundraising and donations in the territory of the Diocese of Rimini. The Rimini diocesan Caritas is also committed to supporting families by offering their own personnel, free availability to welcome refugees, and to directly welcome people from Ukraine. In addition, Caritas Diocesana supports those who knock directly on the door of the headquarters in via Madonna della Scala with food, drugs and clothing: the turnout of people from Ukraine in the last two weeks has increased by 100%. Fr Viktor Duykalyuk, head of the Byzantine Rite Christian Catholic Church of Rimini, San Marino and Ravenna, every afternoon from Monday to Friday (except Thursday), from 2 to 4 pm, has activated a Listening Center for people in Caritas Ukrainians already arrived on the territory. In the province of Rimini so far there have been over 3,000 refugees from Ukraine, most of them women with children. Rimini is the first province in the Emilia Romagna region for the number of refugees. Caritas supports the Ukrainian people both in their territory and in our home. Pray in silence for those who suffer and for God to convert hearts to a firm will for peace. Those who make war forget humanity. Today we must take care of welcoming those fleeing the war but also the needs of our community. Hence the appeal: Don’t leave us alone! We still need your support, we need to feel you are by our side. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
