09/03/2022, Ambassador of Ireland to Italy Patricia O'Brien visited the Pro-Cathedral of St. Sophia in Rome. She met Fr. Marko Yaroslav Semehen and expressed support for the Ukrainian people in this difficult time of Russian invasion and military action and also her condolence for all victims of this aggression.
The Ambassador contributed to the collection of humanitarian aid for Ukrainians by donating medicine. Father Marco thanked Mrs. Patricia O'Brien and, on behalf of all Ukrainians, invited her to visit the Hagia Sophia in Rome once again, when peace reigns in Ukraine, in order to get to know the UGCC better.
A great honour for Amb. Patricia O’Brien to spend time with Don Marco Yaroslav Semehen, Rector of the beautiful Ukrainian Basilica of Santa Sofia, where the solidarity and support of all was much appreciated! pic.twitter.com/kQNakC509t
