This Christmas, Catholic Mission is inviting you to learn the story of Fr Eugen from Romania.
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, guided by the missionary spirit, Fr Eugen and a network of volunteers have opened their hearts and homes to welcome families fleeing conflict.
With the war still ongoing, Fr Eugen has said the support provided to him by Catholic Mission and its generous donors enable him to continue to provide a safe environment for the refugees who have had to leave their country under duress.
To help Fr Eugen continue this important work and assist Catholic Mission to support those in most need, please consider sharing in the Christmas spirit by donating at catholicmission.org.au
