Two cardinals arrived at separate destinations on one mission entrusted to them by Pope Francis: to bring relief, hope and encouragement to suffering Ukrainians.
Polish Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, papal almoner, arrived in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv and met Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk of Kyiv-Halych, head of the Ukrainian Catholic Church, and Archbishop Mieczyslaw Mokrzycki, head of the Latin-rite Archdiocese of Lviv.
Father Andriy Soletskyy, a spokesman for Archbishop Shevchuk, told Catholic News Service that Archbishop Shevchuk traveled from Kyiv to Lviv the day before specifically to meet with Cardinal Krajewski and help him fulfill the mission Pope Francis had entrusted to him. That may include helping the cardinal get to Kyiv "if possible," Father Soletskyy said.
