Bishop Duca Announces Special Collection for Hurricane Helene Relief

Hurricane Helene inflicted devastating and long-lasting damage to the people of Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Tennessee.  In response, the Diocese of Baton Rouge will join with other dioceses throughout the nation to offer assistance in this time of need and to repay the generosity so frequently shown to us by our brothers and sisters now affected by this storm. 
 
Pastors are encouraged over the next two weekends (5/6 October & 12/13 October) in every parish of the diocese to hold a special second collection for Hurricane Helene Disaster Relief.  Funds will be sent directly to the Dioceses of Pensacola-Tallahassee, Charlotte, and others as needed to provide direct relief to the victims of the hurricane and to sustain the charitable and spiritual works of the Church in these areas. 
 
The faithful can also contribute directly to Catholic Charities USA by visiting their website or donating through the diocesan website.

Bishop of the Diocese of Baton Rouge
