Assistance for L.A. Fire Victims
As you may know, thousands of structures have been destroyed, including Corpus Christi Church in Pacific Palisades due to the wildfires. (At this time, we are hearing its school was damaged). We pray for those who have lost their lives, the injured, the displaced and those who are filled with fear or sadness. Under the guidance of Bishop Vann, we will continue to take up an emergency collection so that we can:
- Provide assistance to the affected parishes’ St. Vincent de Paul societies in their efforts to provide immediate food, shelter, clothing, etc.
- Provide assistance to Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles as they help families to rebuild their lives.
- Provide tuition assistance to students who have lost their homes.
- Support the rebuilding of parishes and schools.
