Once again, our brothers and sisters in Haiti have experienced a devastating earthquake. More than 2,000 people have been killed, another 7,000 injured and many are still missing. 84,000 homes are destroyed or damaged. CRS, which has worked in Haiti since 1954, is on the ground in the places most heavily hit by the earthquake, responding on behalf of Catholics in the U.S. As Catholics, we recognize that prayer is of the utmost importance, an invaluable contribution to helping the poor overseas. It guides our actions, it binds us in solidarity to one another and connects us more deeply with the grace that flows from God. Your prayers and support will make so much difference. We will be taking a second collection this weekend. Please consider making a donation through the collection basket or by going to the Catholic Relief Services link above.
