May 19, Mr. Maksymchuk attended the consecration of the Center by Patriarch of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Liubomyr Cardinal Huzar and Archbishop of Utrecht (the Netherlands) Cardinal Adrianus Simonis.
The Center was created due to the effort of the St. Christopher’s Foundation for Children Requiring Special Care in Lviv, Ukraine. A charitable organization of similar name was also founded in Lviv. Its goal is providing for the Center’s work.
The Center will render its services to children free of charge. It is supposed to be financed by charitable contributions from people and businesses in western Ukraine. Besides, hierarchs of all churches in Lviv oblast agreed to support the Center.
