No, Russia is not all snow...!



Non fecit taliter omni nationi (He has not acted this way with every nation)! God has so blessed Russia: it is the land of the martyrs!

A fidei donum priest is one sent by his diocese to another country where there is a shortage of clergy. Might you know a cleric who might be called to labor in the land or the martyrs?

And, for any missioner, Russian food is a perk! Anyways, when you do make your pilgrimage there, you must try the pelmeni (Siberian ravioli) or the real buckwheat with Baltimore ketchup or the kasha, sala, samsa, borsh soup or some nice kvas, too!

In Rome, I often buy at a Ukrainian food shop "Baltica Piva 9" and that fire-water is da bomb!
