The Charity of Christ Compels Us... 2 Corinthians 5:14
All of us have heard or read about the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey. What began with the destruction of homes and businesses has escalated to the loss of lives.
As you know, when instances of natural disasters occur here in the United States and throughout the world, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops requests that (arch)dioceses throughout the nation take up special collections so as to help those most in need. Nearly five years ago, our archdiocese was the beneficiary of such a collection following upon the devastation brought about by Hurricane Sandy.
Cardinal Dolan has asked all parishes to take up a special second collection this weekend. Checks may be made out to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, and one parish check will be sent out to the Cardinal early this week so that we might help those most in need as soon as possible.
Thank you for helping those in need.
God bless you!
