Dear Members of the Fordham Family,
I know we are all stunned and horrified by Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, which has resulted in mass dislocation and suffering, and numerous deaths. I ask you to join me in praying for the people of Ukraine, and for those who are thrust into battle.
Pope Francis has called for “those with political responsibility to examine their consciences seriously before God, who is the God of peace and not of war.” He also called on people of all faiths worldwide to unite in a joint supplication for peace on March 2, Ash Wednesday, by praying and fasting.
The University is reaching out to the students of Ukrainian and Russian backgrounds whom we can identify to offer them support and resources. Various departments and offices across the University are also mobilizing resources for members of our community affected by the war. In the meanwhile, below is a list of Fordham offices for anyone who needs assistance.
Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers tonight.
Sincerely,
Joseph M. McShane, S.J.
