As you know, people across multiple southern states are experiencing the impacts of two deadly hurricanes within two weeks of each other: Helene and Milton. These storms created paths of destruction exceeding hundreds of miles. The death toll for both storms is at 280 people and there are still approximately 100 people reported missing.
In response, earlier this month Cardinal Seán asked the parishes of the Archdiocese to once again step forward with a special collection to help our brothers and sisters in need.
Catholic Charities USA is providing immediate disaster relief with necessities such as water, hygiene kits, diapers, and blankets among many other items.
Our collection will take place on the weekend of November 16-17. Please address checks to your parish (St. John or St. Paul) with “Hurricane Helene Relief” in the memo. Thank you for your prayers and generosity for everyone impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
