Catholic Charities Tornado Relief : Special Collections This Weekend

Destruction in Henryville, Indiana
 In light of the needs of those affected by the recent tornadoes, we will have baskets at each of the church entrances for donations the weekend of March 10/11. Our archdiocesan Catholic Charities agency will be coordinating our local response for relief efforts. (Checks can be written to Catholic Charities or All Saints with a notation for tornado relief.)

The archdiocese has been in touch with the Dioceses of Lexington and Covington where several parishes had significant damage and at least one church in each diocese was totally destroyed. The loss of family members and property has had a significant impact on many parishioners. Likewise there are similar stories and experiences in southern Indiana.

Donations can also be sent to the office and will be forwarded to Catholic Charities.
