Catholic support to Turkey and Syria

As the confirmed death toll continues to climb, we can seem to be helpless while so far away. But our sisters and brothers in Turkey and Syria need whatever aid and support we can offer. Please consider the following ways to assist them:

• prayer: St Matthew is offering a Holy Hour for Turkey and Syria on Monday, February 20, at 6p.

• give: Catholic Relief Services is the official international relief organization of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). They’ve created a special fund for the earthquake survivors, many of whom lost their homes. Please consider offering a sacrificial gift.

• learn: Read Pope Francis’s call for solidarity with Turkey and Syria. Continue to read international news about the rescue and relief efforts.
