Description
The Catholic faithful in Ukraine are facing religious persecution in the occupied zones. Awareness is the first step toward advocacy—so that the suffering of our Catholic brothers and sisters behind the front lines is not forgotten.
The CIC and our co-sponsors, the Saint Gabriel Institute and the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, invite you to view a powerful short film, No Priests Left, which explores the persecution of Catholic priests under Russian occupation in Ukraine on Thursday, April 16, 2026 at 6:00 PM EDT. This short film is part of the documentary, A Faith Under Siege, that explores Russia’s crackdown on Ukrainian Christians in occupied Ukraine.
The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion with producers of the film: Steven E. Moore, Anna Shvetsova, and Sarah Makin.
RSVP to join us in-person or virtually through the livestream.
