St. Joseph of the Lakes

Archbishop Bernard Hebda is asking all parishes of the Archdiocese to join with Catholics around the county to take up a second collection on the weekend of September 9 & 10 for Hurricane Harvey Emergency Relief.

The funds given to this collection will support the humanitarian and recovery efforts of Catholic Charities USA. This is the official domestic relief agency of the US Catholic Church, and will provide pastoral and rebuilding support to impacted diocese and their parishioners and communities.

We join together in prayer for all our brothers and sisters suffering the effects of this storm and flooding. May the Lord give comfort and strength to all these people and may our solidarity aid them in their need.
