Humanitarian Relief for the Turkey and Syria Earthquakes 

The people of Turkey and Syria urgently need help after two earthquakes, and many aftershocks, which has created a humanitarian crisis   in the region. These earthquakes are among the strongest the region has experienced in the past 100 years. Thousands of buildings have been damaged, leaving people without shelter in cold winter conditions.

We are asking our St. Kateri Families for help in raising funds for the Archdiocese of Toronto’s humanitarian relief efforts for the people of Turkey and Syria. On Wednesday February 15 we will be collecting Loonies and Toonies in support of the people of Turkey and Syria.
