Aid for Ukraine
St Mary's Church, Charlbury has developed a special relationship with the Our Lady of Kazan Church in Slatyne, a small rural town in the east of Ukraine. It is close to Kharkiv and only 15 Km from the Russian border. It has suffered greatly from repeated bombing during the war. Many have left the town but the old and frail have not been able to do so. Those remaining depend greatly on aid, mainly food and medicines. However, the war has destroyed much of its infrastructure. They were desperate for a vehicle to distribute aid so St Mary's Church, Charlbury raised over £4,000 in order to buy an estate car from western Ukraine. It arrived in Slatyne on Christmas Day. Let us pray for happier times for them in the New Year.
