Christ the King Parish
My dear fellow parishioners,
In view of the devastating consequences caused by the recent earthquakes in Puerto Rico, Bishop McManus has asked that all parishes take a special second collection to assist the people of that island. As you know, they have still not recovered from the effects of Hurricane Maria just two years ago, one of the most violent on record.
We will take a special second collection at all our Masses this coming weekend, January 18 and 19.
Catholic Charities USA has already begun its efforts to assist the people of Puerto Rico by getting aid to the most heavily impacted areas. The dioceses of the United States always coordinate with them in endeavors like this.
In addition to our financial assistance Bishop McManus has asked that we join him in prayer that the Holy Spirit may bring comfort to the people of the island.
Thank you for your goodness.
Monsignor Tom Sullivan
