Our prayers go out to families who have lost loved ones, homes and businesses due to the devastating impact of Hurricane Laura and the wildfires in the West.
The Catholic Bishops of the United States have established the USCCB Bishops Emergency Disaster Fund to support these disaster relief efforts and those that may happen in the near future. The funds collected in this special collection will be used for humanitarian needs, long-term recovery and Church needs arising from these calamities. These monies will be used to support both Catholic Charities USA and Catholic Relief Services, the official relief agencies of the U.S. Catholic Church, as they respond to immediate emergency needs; and the USCCB for pastoral and reconstruction needs of the Church.
To support these relief efforts you can donate at the Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of Green Bay at www.catholicfoundationgb.org.
Thank you for your prayerful consideration and response. Please make your gift today!
Lord, help me to follow the example of Jesus’ generosity and to excel in the grace of giving.
