On July 10, 2024, the ICCPPC-Europe coordination meeting of representatives of the Netherlands, Germany, Lithuania, Ukraine and Hungary has been held. This event has taken place at the initiative of Doris Schaefer, the leading European coordinator of the International Commission of Catholic Pastoral Care in prisons.
During the meeting in remote mode, the representatives of the countries talked about the development of the situation and initiatives that precede the Jubilee Year 2025 in prison pastoral care. The members of the group expressed solidarity support for Ukraine and sympathy for the barbaric killing of personnel and children in Okhmatdyt, in residential buildings and a private maternity hospital in the city of Kyiv, as well as civilians in other cities of Ukraine: in the city of Dnipro, the city of Kryvyi Rih, Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Pokrovsk, which were subjected to massive rocket fire on July 8, 2024.
The representative of Ukraine, priest Kostyantyn Pantelei, spoke about the development of the pastoral ministry of the UGCC and about the new program for the development of activities of diocesan centers of reintegration for former prisoners. In every international contact, one feels solidarity support and prayer, interest in the fate of Ukraine in the competition for the freedom of the people and the restoration of international security and law and order.
