Catholic Church and Hurricane Katrina

I am happy to see that the Catholic Church is doing all it can to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. I have heard that all Catholic Churches were having collections for the victims and my parish did that today - in fact, the parish bumped its monthly second collection for parish maintenance so that they could have a collection for the victims. At the Mass I went to this morning, the priest said that since Jesus calls us to Love one another (2nd reading) , the best way for us to show love for the victims was to donate our money so that they can recover from the disaster. Also, like today's gospel says, we need to gather together to pray since Jesus listens to those who gather in his name and prays. Also, from Amy Welborn's Blog, I see that a lot of other Catholic organizations are doing what they can to help out. One organization in particularly I wanted to mention was Knights of Columbus, they are matching donations up to 2.5 million - their web site is here:

Let us continue to pray for those affected by this disaster and do all we can to help them.
