News & Announcements

A special second collection will be taken up next weekend (Oct 6/7) at all the Masses for the humanitarian, long-term recovery and Church needs arising from Hurricane Florence. Given the patterns of recent years, it is reasonable to expect additional weather related disasters. The USCCB has requested a special appeal for the ongoing disaster of 2018. The funds collected will be used to support the efforts of Catholic Charities USA and/or Catholic Relief Services. Funds will be used in response to Hurricane Florence and any other natural disasters that occur this year.
