"The war in Ukraine is also a war against the Ukrainian youth and family," — Fr. Roman Demush during his visit to the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life.

As part of preparations for the 2025 Youth Jubilee in Rome, Fr. Roman presented the UGCC’s youth formation program and shared the challenges faced by young Ukrainians due to the war. He emphasized how the conflict affects not only the nation but also its families and future.

The meeting, attended by Fr. Franco Galdino and Valace Freitas, affirmed the Dicastery’s solidarity with Ukrainian youth and commitment to collaboration in the Jubilee context.
