Father Brian announced that the donations to the special collection to assist the people of Ukraine have now reached more than one million dollars. He and Monsignor Fleming explained that the entire amount raised in Los Angeles is being forwarded to the USCCB. Not a penny is kept here; the costs of our participation are all being covered by our Office of the Propagation of the Faith. Similarly, Archbishop Gomez said that the USCCB will forward the entire amount received to the Conference of Bishops for Ukraine.
