Fathers,

As we continue to see the devastating effects of the fires in Southern California, you may have parishioners asking how to contribute to recovery efforts. Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) is assisting directly with humanitarian relief through various local agencies on the ground and will remain present throughout this sure-to-be prolonged recovery. Therefore, we ask that all fundraising be funneled through CCUSA at:

These contributions will ensure that funds are available quickly for things like shelter, food, and other humanitarian aid – to those most in need.  Please also keep apprised of social media posts on our diocesan media channels which you may push out on your parish and school social media channels as well.  

 Thank you,

 FJM
