ndless examples can be cited of how academia at the Ukrainian Catholic University inspires social responsibility and nurtures psychological and spiritual health. One example in particular stands out in my mind. The Russian invasion of Donbass has left millions of citizens homeless and displaced. The humanitarian crisis continues to escalate as countless persons witness the deaths of their loved ones and the loss of their homes. In response to this growing darkness graduates such as Yuriy Didula actively participate in a social program known as Vilna Hata. Yuriy and his colleagues visited Kramatorsk after its liberation from Russian separatists and were instrumental in remodeling destroyed homes and in building a new community center. Just think of the tremendous impact graduates of the Ukrainian Catholic University have on transforming the world. Hopefully there will be more graduates to meet these needs.
