All,

Concerning the Catholic Church in Russia:

Quote:

In his lengthy radio interview, the Italian archbishop said that the small Catholic community in Russia-- numbering just 600,000 faithful, in a country of 144 million-- is very active and fervent, but suffers from the shortage of priests. He observed that Catholics in Russia are also troubled by tensions with the Orthodox churches. Archbishop Lajolo suggested that the large Catholic communities of other countries should make the effort to assure Russian Catholics of their prayerful support.

Perhaps extra prayer for the Church in Russia is something we could provide?
