Earlier this month Hurricane Matthew devastated significant parts of the Southeast coast of the United States countries in the Caribbean. With appreciation, we have watched the relief efforts of many agencies, especially Catholic Charities and Catholic Relief Services.
Funds from this special collection will be used to support the efforts of Catholic Relief Services and Catholic Charities USA as they reach out to provide humanitarian aid after widespread destruction, as well as for the pastoral and reconstruction needs of the Church in the Caribbean and the US. Those who wish may make an online contribution to the relief efforts by visiting
