Special Collection for Earthquake Relief in Venezuela.
As you are likely aware, Venezuela was struck by two powerful earthquakes on June 24, with nearly 2,000 people killed and thousands more injured and missing.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has called on all dioceses to take up a special collection to assist Catholic Relief Services as they work through Caritas Venezuela and the local Church to quickly deliver emergency shelter, food, safe water, medical care and other critical relief to those affected.
Archbishop Weisenburger asks all parishes to take up a special collection for these relief efforts at Masses this weekend (July 4/5) and/or next weekend (July 11/12).
There will be a Collection Box located on
the Blessed Mother Side.
