A recent natural disaster has recently affected our brothers and sisters in Christ. A massive earthquake and tropical storm that hit Haiti has created widespread destruction. We are asking you to respond with the Catholic community across the United States to a special emergency collection on September 18-19. Catholic Relief Services is the official international relief agency of the U.S. Catholic Church and is already responding to urgent needs for shelter, water, and food of those affected by this disaster. Checks should be made payable to Sacred Heart. For more information, go to www.usccb.org or to Catholic Relief Services at https://support.crs.org/donate/haiti-earthquake.
