Nativity of Our Lord will conduct a 2nd collection to that end at all Lord's Day Masses on or the weekend of October 12/13.

In late September, Hurricane Helene tore through communities in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. It left a devastating toll in its wake, with more than 200 dead and hundreds still missing. The storm washed away homes and highways and decimated power and water systems. This has been followed by Hurricane Milton slamming the gulf coast of Florida bringing further damage.

This crisis offers us an opportunity to stand in solidarity of prayer and give what we can to bring relief to those who are suffering from this crisis. The funds collected in this special appeal for Hurricane Relief will be sent to Catholic Charities USA, the US Catholic relief agency, to provide immediate disaster relief with necessities such as water, food and shelter. They will stand by their communities through the long-term recovery. They will also be used to provide for the pastoral and social needs of the Church as they reach out to those displaced by the disaster.

Please make checks payable to "Center for Mission." On the memo line indicate: Hurricane Relief Appeal. Checks can be submitted to the 2nd collection or mailed to:

Center for Mission
777 Forest Street
St. Paul, MN 55106
