“I invite us to stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people -and with people of peace everywhere-to seek an immediate cease fire, a withdrawal of all troops and a resolve to engage diplomacy as our only way forward”. – John Hodgson CSsR, Provincial of the Oceania
The unfolding tragedy in Ukraine has brought fear and angst to our already fragile and fractured human family. The shock of a dictator on the march in Europe is only now really sinking in. What has come out of this reality from all corners of the world is a demand and united resolve to end the Russian aggression in Ukraine. From those working on diplomatic solutions in Belarus to the brave protesters in Russia, we join the chorus of women and men of goodwill saying no to war.
