In accordance with the request of Pope Francis, Cardinal Michael Czerny will travel for a second time to the Ukraine border on Monday.
The Jesuit cardinal, who visited the border between Hungary and Ukraine last week, will arrive in Slovakia on 16 March.
“Cardinal Czerny will depart again for Ukraine, at the request of Pope Francis, to manifest the Holy Father’s closeness to those who are living with pain the consequences of the ongoing war,” the Vatican said on 14 March.
The 75-year-old cardinal, who is the interim head of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, visited Ukrainian refugees arriving in Hungary on March 8-11.
