As we continue to see images of the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Florence and now Hurricane Michael it is important that we come together to reach out to support those affected by these disasters. The widespread damage, tragic suffering and loss of lives present an overwhelming challenge to relief efforts and agencies such as Catholic Charities and Catholic Relief Services. With that in mind, Bishop Tobin has asked us to take up a special collection to assist the victims of Hurricanes Florence and Michael. St. John Paul II Parish will take up a collection this weekend, October 27/28. You may use the Fuel Offering envelope for this collection.
