Assistance to Our Brothers and Sisters in Haiti

All of us have seen the extreme suffering and loss of human lives for so many in Haiti. Please talk with your children about how all of us are called by Jesus to take care of each other. At our school Mass on Wednesday, January 27th we will take up an offering to be given to Catholic Relief Services to assist victims of the earthquake. This will be most meaningful if our students earn the money they donate or take it from money they may have saved. However, this is of course a family decision. If sending cash, please be sure it is in an envelope. If you are more comfortable sending a check, please make it out to CRS/ Archdiocese of Seattle. Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is the official international humanitarian agency of the U.S. Catholic Church.
