Holy Family Eparchy of London: Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17

Holy Family Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of London

Ukrainian Catholics of Great Britain and Ireland are saddened by the demise of innocent victims of terrorist attacks in Ukraine – the most recent being the passengers and crew of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17, shot down in the Donetsk Region on 17 May 2014. We pray for the repose of their souls, but also for their families, that the Lord comfort them and give them strength to carry on. We offer our deepest sympathies to all.

I kindly ask the priests of the Eparchy of the Holy Family of London and in the Republic of Ireland to pray for the deceased at this Sunday’s Liturgy, 20 July 2014, and pray for their families as well. After Liturgy, please pray a Panakhyda for the innocent victims of terrorist attacks in Ukraine.

Eternal Memory!

London, 19 July 2014.
