Dear Pastors,

In a Christian response to the devastation experienced by the victims of Hurricane Charley this past week, parishes and missions are encouraged to take up a special collection on the victims’ behalf.

After taking up this optional collection, please forward your check to the Finance Office and indicate that it is for Hurricane Charley. All monies collected will be forwarded to Catholic Relief Services, the official international humanitarian agency of the U.S. Catholic community.

Thank you in advance for your generous response.

Assuring you of my prayers and best wishes and with kind personal regards, I am

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Most Reverend John F. Donoghue

Archbishop of Atlanta
