Special Second Collection for Disaster Recovery on October 9 & 10, 2021
Hurricanes Ida and Nicholas have caused catastrophe along the Texas and Louisiana coastline, and many towns have been hit by severe weather multiple times without a chance to recover. As a result, lives have been lost, and homes, businesses, and church properties have been critically damaged or destroyed.
Cardinal DiNardo has requested that all pastors in our Archdiocese take up a special second collection to help our brothers and sisters recover and rebuild from these recent storms.
It was previously stated in a clerical error that this second collection at St. Michael the Archangel would take place on October 16 and 17. The correct date for the second collection, as approved by the Archdiocese and our pastor Fr. Wayne Wilkerson, is October 9 and 10 during all Masses.
Lord, we pray that your hope and healing may quickly lead our brothers and sisters to a place of restoration and peace. Amen.
