Summer is winding down. Students and teachers are back to school, but not for those who are affected by hurricanes Harvey and Irma. As we all know, the hurricanes wrought enormous devastation on its path. Let us continue to pray for Texas and Florida and the victims of the earthquake in Mexico and do all we can to help.
Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles, vice-president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), in his letter of August 28, 2017 requests an Emergency National Collection to Assist Dioceses Affected by Hurricane Harvey. Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, issued a statement and call for prayer for those involved in the devastating earthquake off the southern coast of Mexico and Guatemala.
Sincerely,
Sr. Myrna Tordillo, mscs
