Special Second Collection for Ecuador: May 21-22

Cardinal Sean authorized a special collection in support of relief efforts to those areas devastated by the powerful earthquake that struck Ecuador. St. John’s will have this special second collection May 21-22. The Catholic organizations that have been working in Ecuador in recent years include Pro Christo, founded here in the Archdiocese to provide medical and family support services, and Rostro de Cristo, founded by Fr. Jim Ronan of the Archdiocese, which have joined in the emergency response efforts, particularly with respect to medical care, and also other Catholic relief efforts. Parishioners are asked to address their checks to  St. John Parish with Ecuador Collection 2016 in the memo.
