The donation to the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee was used to repair roofs within the diocese. At the Diocese of Charleston, our donation went to relief supplies such as food, hygiene and baby items. Bishop Zarama applied the funds to food and other supplies for those in need.
On the West Coast, after the Camp Fire in the Diocese of Sacramento, Cross Catholic Outreach supported Bishop Jamie Soto and the diocese’s Fire Relief Fund. While our mission at Cross Catholic Outreach is to help the poorest of the poor in the developing world, there are times when we support our brothers and sisters here in the U.S. It reflects our union of the whole Catholic Church in being responsive to the greatest needs in our midst.
