Well, I would like to apologize to everyone who checks in on this blog. I've been woefully behind in updating. Please forgive me and give me a chance to redeem myself.
Haitian relief efforts have been underway since Wednesday morning, as you can imagine. A prayer for the victims was read throughout the diocese last weekend and will be again this weekend. Most significantly, there will be an unprecedented second collection for Haitian relief in all parishes across the diocese this coming weekend.
Working through the Catholic Church’s official international relief network, Caritas Internationalis, the funds we receive are being channelled to Caritas Haiti, which runs 200 medical clinics in the country. ShareLife does not apply any administrative fees to humanitarian relief contributions, ensuring as much money as possible is directed toward assistance of those in crisis. Donations will help provide food, shelter, clean water, and medical and cooking supplies for those affected by the earthquake. Catholic partners will be present in both the short and long term, assisting with the rebuilding efforts that will continue for months and years to come.
I'll be in touch every day this week, to catch up on all that is on the go.
