A message from Archbishop José H. Gomez
Our prayerful and financial support is urgently needed to help the families who have lost loved ones, homes, and businesses. We also stand with our brother bishops in the region who have the difficult task of providing pastoral care in these most trying times while managing their own losses.
Funds given to this special collection will support the humanitarian and recovery efforts of Catholic Charities USA and provide pastoral and rebuilding support to impacted dioceses through the USCCB. The hurricane has affected southeast Texas, including the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, and could also strike Louisiana.
We will take a second collection next weekend to support Catholic Charities’ disaster relief efforts for Hurricane Harvey and related floods. Checks may be made payable to Catholic Charities.
