CWN Editor's Note: The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops announced that in 2023, it awarded 329 grants totaling $8.7 million to the Church in formerly Communist nations, most of them in Europe.
Over 60 of the grants were for scholarships, and over $2 million was granted for “urgent humanitarian and pastoral relief to victims of the war” in Ukraine.
The grants were funded by a special collection that typically takes place on Ash Wednesday in US dioceses.
