Preserving Ukrainian Culture with Refugees in Germany

In January 2023, as the Ukrainian refugee crisis unfolded, the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe (CECE) and Episcopal Relief & Development launched the Convocation Refugee Grant Program (CRGP) to help faith communities across Europe to deliver compassionate, targeted and effective support to refugees and displaced migrants. 

Since its launch, CRGP has reached more than 200,000 people in 28 cities in 12 European countries with the help of 21 local churches. 

In Wiesbaden, Germany, CECE and Episcopal Relief & Development support Ukrainian-led cultural activities hosted by the Church of St. Augustine of Canterbury that created a sense of belonging for Ukrainian refugees. Watch the video to learn more about how the church has become a sanctuary for Ukrainians in their city.
