Meet the Scranton Priest who helped raise over $1 million to help fund Ukraine's freedom fight against Russia

Ed Pikulski Season 3 Episode 4

Rev. Myron Myronyuk, the pastor of St. Vladimir Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Scranton, has spent the past year on a personal mission to help purchase supplies for soldiers from his Ukraine homeland.  He purchases helmets, body armor, tourniquets, uniforms, boots, vehicles, drones, and medical supplies and ships everything to the front lines in Ukraine.

Father Myron speaks to the soldiers - including his twin brother Taras - weekly and offers spiritual and emotional support, confession, and therapy to the troops as he travels Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York for the supplies Ukrainian soldiers desperately need - all while running his parish on North 7th Avenue.

To support Ukraine's soldiers, people can send checks to St. Vladimir Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, 430 N. 7th Ave., Scranton, PA 18503, or call (570) 342-7023
