Special Collection for Haiti

Special Collection for Haiti At All Masses Aug 28-29
Recognizing the suffering of the Haitian people and growing need for assistance, Cardinal Seán has asked that a special collection be taken for Catholic Relief Services and the Church in Haiti. In our collaborative, this will be taken next weekend, August 28 & 29. Baskets will be at the doors of each church. Please make checks payable to the parish (Sacred Heart or Our Lady’s), with “Haiti Earthquake Relief” in the memo line.

The parishes of the Archdiocese of Boston have consistently stepped forward during times of natural disasters to assist our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world. Following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, where CRS reports “more than 300,000 people were killed and another 1.3 million left without homes”, the parishioners of the Archdiocese generously raised more than $2 million for relief efforts.
