In the face of this great suffering, solidarity on the part of the Salesians was continuous and did not stop, and in this new letter, the Rector Major loudly affirms, “we are with you and available in every necessity”.
Keeping this in mind, the Rector Major, in this profound and intimate letter, wanted to thank all the countries that had welcomed the refugees with a great sense of brotherhood, even accommodating them in their homes, working with commitment and dedication for the good of those who are suffering the consequences of this war.
He recalls the many other conflicts that afflict the world, and whose “effects are always the same: devastation, forced migration, refugees and numerous deaths”. In the letter, the Rector Major lists all the institutions, works, Salesian houses that are helping the Ukrainian population in this circumstance, with fundraising, delivery of necessities and mobilizations of every kind.
The Rector Major concludes his message by thanking all those in the Salesian Family who are working and reaching out during this time of emergency.
