Parishioners across the Diocese of Charlotte are invited to participate in a special second collection to benefit victims of Tropical Storm Helene, which has devastated communities in several states including western North Carolina. The collection will be taken up at Masses the weekend of Oct. 5-6.
All funds raised will go toward helping both the local parishes hit hardest by the storm and Catholic Charities’ efforts to help individuals and families in these communities. Your financial support will provide life-giving essentials like clean water, food, diapers, baby formula and more. Your support will also help with long-term recovery efforts as individuals and families work to rebuild their lives.
To donate, place your contributions in the specified collection at your parish, making checks payable to your parish and marked “Helene Relief Effort.”
