Bishop calls for special Mass, collection for victims of Typhoon Haiyan

Moved by the devastation, suffering and loss of life being borne by the peoples of the Philippines and Vietnam in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan, Bishop Michael Mulvey has issued an appeal to all Catholics throughout the Diocese of Corpus Christi to contribute generously to a special collection that will be taken up in all Catholic parishes.
 
In a letter to all pastors and administrators throughout the diocese, Bishop Mulvey asked that they take up a second collection for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan this weekend Nov. 16-17 or on the weekend of Nov. 30-Dec. 1.  
 
Bishop Mulvey will also celebrate a special Mass for the victims of the storm on Nov. 21 at 6 p.m. at St. Paul the Apostle Parish located 2233 Waldron Road in Flour Bluff.  Everyone is invited. 
 
Those wishing to contribute to the relief effort online can do so on the diocese’s Web site at diocesecc.org/give. If you do not have an account and do not wish to create an account, go to "Quick Give" and on the next page click on "Continue to Quick Give".
