Hurricane Laura is a tragic reminder of the suffering that can be caused by natural disasters and as people of faith, naturally we want to offer assistance.

 

As a reminder--when a natural disaster occurs in the United States, electronic donations may be made to Catholic Charities USA:

 

Online: www.catholiccharitiesusa.org

Mail: Catholic Charities USA P.O. Box 17066 Baltimore MD 21297-1066

Phone: 800-919-9338

 

When a disaster happens in another country, collections and individual donations should be directed to Catholic Relief Services (CRS):

 

Online: www.crs.org

Mail: Catholic Relief Services P.O. Box 17090 Baltimore, MD 21297-0303

(Please write the specific incident in the memo line)

Phone: l-877-Help-CRS

 

In many cases, domestic and international aid are both desperately needed. May God bless all those affected by catastrophic events.
