Disaster Relief for Venezuela
In the wake of the recent earthquakes in Venezuela, Bishop Parkes has approved a donation from our diocesan Disaster Relief Fund to the Diocese of La Guaira, where the epicenter of the earthquake was located and where the greatest damage took place. As needed, additional monies from the fund may be sent, as the damage continues to be assessed. If you wish to make donations toward relief efforts for the people of Venezuela, you are welcome to donate through one of the following methods: Diocese of Saint Petersburg Disaster Relief Fund: www.dosp.org/disaster-relief-fund (The link includes instructions for both mail-in and online donations) Catholic Relief Services: www.crs.org (Funds are securely transmitted from Catholic Relief Services to Caritas Venezuela, the international version of Catholic Relief Services) Let us unite our prayers for our sisters and brothers in Venezuela. A Prayer For Venezuela Lord of mercy, be near to the people of Venezuela in this time of fear and loss. Bring comfort to those who are hurting, shelter to those without homes, and strength to all who are responding with care and compassion. May your presence be a source of peace, and may hope rise even in the midst of uncertainty. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
