Polish-Belarusian border.<\/a> Tents of Hope have been set up in seven parishes in the Archdiocese of Bia\u0142ystok. They collect food, clothing, blankets, i.e., the most necessary things that can be used to support the needy.<\/p>\nDetails of Caritas Poland activities were announced at a press conference in Podlipki, in Podlasie. Since September, the value of aid given by Caritas to support migrants in Poland amounted to over 1 million PLN.<\/p>\n
Caritas Polska emphasizes that its activities in the Polish-Belarusian border region are aimed at helping not only migrants who have crossed into Poland and need support. \u201cAs long as the crisis lasts, we will be with all those in need. In our Caritas activities we try to remember all groups affected by the crisis: migrants and refugees, the inhabitants of these areas, and the services,\u201d said Father Marcin I\u017cycki.<\/p>\n
The head of Caritas Poland also recalled that this Sunday a collection for migrants and refugees will be conducted in churches throughout Poland. This is a response to the appeal of the President of the Polish Bishops\u2019 Conference Archbishop Stanis\u0142aw G\u0105decki. The director of Caritas Polska also drew attention to the statement of the episcopate’s President, in which he condemned the use of human tragedies by the Belarusian side to conduct activities against Polish sovereignty. \u201cFor this reason, I would like to repeat once again that those affected by this evil need our solidarity,\u201d Archbishop G\u0105decki said.<\/p>\n
Fr. Cordian Szwarc, a Franciscan friar, was directly involved in the activities of Caritas Polska in the borderlands. The priest emphasized that parish communities have been trying to respond to the crisis from the beginning and Caritas wants to support these efforts. \u201cWe have been here for two weeks now, and we see that the people who form these parishes are good people, in the good sense of the word, simple, good people who have learned from their grandparents what is good and what is bad,\u201d said Father Cordian Szwarc.<\/p>\n
He added that whenever the residents met migrants asking for food, drink, or clothes, they helped them out of the kindness of their hearts. \u201cThere is a very different reaction to a person who asks for help with their hand out and a very different reaction when you see several thousand people gathered at the border and presented in this way,\u201d said the deputy director of Caritas Poland. He also drew attention to the situation of local communities, worried about their safety. As he said, local communities express their gratitude to the uniformed services for providing security. \u201cAll actions that consist in strengthening this good relationship are also within our capabilities,\u201d assessed Father Cordian Szwarc.<\/p>\n
Jerzy S\u0119czek, director of the Caritas of the Archdiocese of Bia\u0142ystok, also thanked the residents for their attitude. He said that even though Catholics are in the minority in some of the places where help is given, this does not affect the work of Caritas. \u201cWe do not differentiate between people of different religions or nationalities, we help everyone,\u201d assured Fr. Jerzy S\u0119czek. He added that Caritas of the Archdiocese of Bialystok has been cooperating with the Border Guard since the beginning of the crisis, supporting migrants in need. Father S\u0119czek also stressed that the officers, who are often members of local parishes, collected basic necessities from their churches and gave them directly to the migrants.<\/p>\n
Grzegorz Kowalczuk, the coordinator of the Tents of Hope project, spoke about the importance of joint efforts to help at the border. \u201cIt is essential to analyze the needs. Yesterday in Hajn\u00f3wka we wanted to open a local point, it turned out that there is a local aid initiative (…) Our task is simply to support any action that is good and connecting,\u201d said Grzegorz Kowalczuk.<\/p>\n
Caritas Poland declares that it is ready to help migrants in the long term. There are several centers for foreigners in Poland. As the director of Caritas Polska said, the number of people placed there has recently tripled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
