The devastation wrought by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria is heart-wrenching and it has inspired many to ask how we can respond.

To support an immediate response, please consider making donations online. There are four organizations listed below that are well-positioned with connections in the earthquake area to respond to urgent needs. Donating directly to these organizations online is really the fastest way to get the money to where it is most needed.

Please keep in your thoughts and prayers...

Those who have died,

Gemma Blanchard, Jane (Woodley) Smith & Peter Helm

Helen Connolly, Joan Elgar, Joan Tax, Lillian Jesty,

Jesus, Our Lord, we ask you to have mercy on all who are sick. Give them your strength and love and help them carry this cross with faith. May their sufferings be one with yours, overcome the power of evil and lead others to our Father in Heaven.
