The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate began their ministry in Ukraine in September 1989. Today, the Ukrainian Delegation consists of 30 Oblates serving in 9 locations. Among their ministries and priorities are the poor, the media, youth ministry, and pastoral service in parishes. For many years, the Oblates have been active in the media, particularly in television operating within the EWTN network. A few years ago, Bishop Leon Dubrawski of Kamianets-Podilskyi established shrines in two of our parish churches: in Hnivan — the Shrine of Saint Joseph, and in Tyvriv — the Shrine of Our Lady of Tyvriv and the Martyrs for the Faith.
During our more than 30 years of ministry in Ukraine, it was necessary to renovate ruined churches and to build new ones where none existed. Among the works for which we give special thanks to God and to our benefactors is our monastery in Tyvriv, where, next to the Marian shrine, the Youth Center named after Saint John Paul II and a Retreat House operate under the care of the Oblates. The second retreat house is our mother house in Ukraine — the monastery in Obukhiv.
We commend ourselves to your prayers and sincerely thank you for your kindness.

Goodness that saves life
Ms. Maria from Vorzel (Kyiv region) was diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Before her illness, she cared for her sick mother and for many years visited wounded soldiers in nearby hospitals. When she learned about her diagnosis, she did not want to ask anyone for help. At the same time, her brother was at war and her sister had passed away, leaving her alone with the illness and the responsibility of caring for her mother. Thanks to the generosity of our benefactors, we were able to offer her financial support. Today Ms. Maria has overcome cancer and continues her volunteer service in hospitals while caring for her mother. We thank all our donors for every act of help and every prayer. May God reward your goodness a hundredfold.
