I had my communion in our church on Hope Ave. in the early 1950s. My father Joseph helped buy the land and helped with the building and design of the church we are now in. Is there any people or any groups that are doing anything to help our brothers and sisters in the Ukraine during this awful time? If there is please let me know. Mel
