New Toronto’s Catholic Women’s League of Christ the Good Shepherd Parish St. Michael’s Ukrainian Catholic Church have been raising funds by selling beautiful, uniquely embroidered face masks that were made in the Ukraine.
“Back in the spring of 2020 a few of us were looking for an exciting, different looking mask to spice up our wardrobes and to celebrate our Ukrainian heritage,” recalls campaign organizer Sonia Handziuk.
She says “through a family friend in Ukraine we found these beautiful masks and had a few sent over for our personal use.”
“Within the first few days friends in Canada had depleted us of our newly ordered supply of masks,” Handziuk says. “We have since ordered more masks and have been selling them through our Women’s League.”
The funds raised support a number of outreach projects in Canada as a seniors homes, and support for the homeless as well as orphanages in Ukraine.
A variety of styles and colours of masks are available. They are being sold for $15 each; $25 for two or $50 for five.
To order your mask please email sonia.handziuk.03@gmail.com
