Diocesan Collection Amount for Baghdeda Wedding Fire Victims

Ansam `Sitto on October 20, 2023

Thank you to all parishioners and faithful for their generous response to help our brothers and sisters and Baghdeda after their tragedy. The diocesan second collection from all parishes amounted to over $130,000. Let us continue to pray for all our brothers and sisters in need in Baghdeda, that they may continue to receive assistance and guidance through the Lord.

Proverbs 3:27: “Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.”
