Our projects 2022

The aim of the project is to provide year-round care for an important Place of Remembrance, which is the War Cemetery in Dytiatyn (Ukraine, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast). As part of the implementation, 102 commemorative events of the Battle of Dytiatyn will be traditionally organized.

The beginning of spring in Dytiatyn

The end of February turned out to be the beginning of a very difficult time for the whole of Ukraine. We are all following the news from our eastern border. Despite the very difficult situation, the Franciscan Fathers continue to take care of their Parishes, Monasteries and all those in need in Ukraine. We have not given up on caring for our Polish Cultural Heritage. We are continuing the borderland project of caring for the War Cemetery in Dytiatyn. Here are some March photos from Dytiatyn.
