FIRE RELIEF PROGRAM
The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has established a Wildfire Victims Emergency Relief Fund to help the victims of the recent wildfires. Special disaster envelopes are located throughout the church and in our Parish Office for donations. You can drop these envelopes in the weekly donation baskets or at the Parish Office. You can also donate directly online either through our church's OSV giving site (see green button above) or at http:/lacatholics.org/California-fires/. Requests for assistance will be made through our local parish and funds will be provided as a one-time grant to those in need effective immediately. Thank you for your support to help those who are suffering and have lost so much through these devastating events. Let us continue to offer our prayers for all who have been impacted by the wildfires and for the first responders and all volunteers who are on the front lines.
