A Statement by Cardinal DiNardo

“I ask the faithful to please join me in prayer for those affected by the recent flooding in Houston and the surrounding areas. I am grateful for the rescue efforts being facilitated by not only emergency response teams, but also volunteers aiding their neighbors during these challenging circumstances. Some of the parishes in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston are reporting damage to their property; we will monitor those situations and remain in contact with them. May God’s mercy be bestowed on the families and individuals dealing with day-to-day uncertainty as the hazardous conditions persist.”

How to Help the Earthquake Victims in Ecuador:

The 7.8-magnitude quake, which occurred on April 16th, has killed over 600 people. More than 25,000 people are currently living in shelters.
