NEW YORK -- Cardinal Timothy Dolan made a surprise visit to Ukraine over the weekend. 

The Archdiocese of New York released video of the cardinal in Lviv on Sunday. 

He met with Ukrainians who have been displaced by the war, including a 94-year-old woman from eastern Ukraine and a family from Mariupol. 

Dolan also toured a former convent that's being renovated for the expected arrival of children orphaned because of the war. 

The cardinal is now meeting with Ukrainian refugees in Poland before flying home Tuesday.
