Ukrainian seafarers and their families have found refuge from Russia’s invasion at a Stella Maris recreation centre in Poland.
Fifty-five people, 18 of them children, have made their way to a resort maintained by the Catholic maritime ministry in the Kashubia region, near Gdynia on the Baltic coast.
“We rely, really, in the providence of God, and until now we are able to support them,” Fr Bruno Ciceri, Stella Maris’ international director, told TradeWinds during the North American Maritime Ministry Association conference outside Baltimore last week.
