Hurricanes Ian and Fiona Relief

Hurricanes Ian and Fiona Relief

Poor Fund Donation from the Parish

The Archbishop has asked all parishes in the diocese to help provide immediate and long-term aid to those recovering from the effects of Hurricane Ian and Fiona. On behalf of all the people at St. Catherine’s and in lieu of a second collection, the parish has made a $5,000 donation from the poor fund to this special collection. This is exactly what the poor fund was established for.

The funds collected throughout the diocese will become part of the Bishops Emergency Disaster Fund and will be used to support the efforts of Catholic Charities USA and /or Catholic Relief Services, the office relief agencies of the U.S. Catholic Church, to support the Church and humanitarian needs arising from this and any future disasters.

Please continue to pray for our brothers and sisters who have lost their lives and those who have suffered as a result of Hurricanes Ian and Fiona, who must now rebuild their lives, their homes, their cities, and their churches.
