The weekend of October 29-30, 2022, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis will be taking up a special collection at all Masses to support the USCCB Bishops Emergency Disaster Fund.
This fund helps individuals, communities, and Catholic entities harmed by natural and other disasters. As you are aware, recent hurricanes, floods and tropical storms have caused significant loss of life and billions of dollars of damage in Florida, Haiti, and Puerto Rico in the past three months.
The contributions received will support the efforts of Catholic Charities USA and Catholic Relief Services, the official relief agencies of the U.S. Catholic Church, as they and their local agencies respond to immediate emergency needs for such necessities as water, food, shelter, and medical care, and aid in long-term rebuilding and recovery efforts. Donations also provide funding for grants to impacted dioceses for pastoral and reconstruction needs of the Church.
Checks can be made out to your parish with a notation on the memo line for the Bishops Emergency Disaster Fund and remitted to the Archdiocesan Missions Office. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to Theresa Brydon, tbrydon@archindy.org.
