Dear Parishioners,

Kindly note, a second collection will be taken tomorrow at the Mass to aid victims of the Hurricane Maria  in  Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico is reeling from the effects of Hurricane Maria, which made landfall as a Category 4 storm, suffered devastating loss of life and a complete dismantling of infrastructure in the regions.

Funds given to the collection will support the humanitarian and recovery efforts of Diocese, by providing pastoral and rebuilding support to affected areas in Puerto Rico.

 

Please write checks in favor of '" St Mary's Syro Malabar Catholic Church " and use our regular church provided envelopes for making payments.  

Thanks,
