Last year I was assigned to serve in Croatia. After the war in Ukraine started, I joined volunteers to help receive Ukrainian refugees. Every day was full of touching and painful stories; I started to keep a journal.
I am proud that the Sisters of St. Basil the Great are international and that we have an expanded worldview, which I've experienced in Croatia, Italy, Greece, and a Russian-speaking city in Ukraine.
