SAINT DAVID SCHOOL
CELEBRATES THEIR FIRST MASS
FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR
HURRICANE IDA RELIEF
Hurricane Ida brutalized southeastern Louisiana on August 29-30, leaving several people dead and knocking out power for more than 1 million people, including the entire city of New Orleans. Fierce winds caused extensive damage while heavy rains and storm surge brought severe flooding, which remains an ongoing threat for the region. This all happened on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Thank you to all who were so generous in donating to the Hurricane Ida Relief Collections at Saint David. Our neighbors are in desperate need of our assistance.
Catholic Charities is also collecting for donations for Hurricane Ida relief that will go toward filling immediate needs such as water, hygiene supplies and food. Click on the link to be directed to their website.
HAITI RELIEF
The August 14th earthquake brought devastation to Haiti's southwest peninsula and has affected people in three dioceses.
Catholic Relief Services(CRS) has its main base in the city of Les Cayes which suffered major damage. They are offering humanitarian assistance as well as taking donations.
Our Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami is also collecting funds to assist the great human needs following this latest natural disaster. You can donate to either organization by going to their website links below.

COVID-19 & THE DELTA VARIANT
PLEASE GET VACCINATED
The Delta variant of COVID-19 is creating a surge in positive cases, in hospitalizations and eventually, will increase the number of deaths. Positivity rate in Miami-Dade County has increased from June 18th at 2.4% to July 25th at 10.1%, a four-fold increase in positive cases. 15% of those are children. Hospital admissions have doubled in the last two weeks and are again filling the hospital's critical care units. The patients are younger and 90.1% of the admitted patients are unvaccinated. Archbishop Wenski is strongly encouraging those who have not yet been vaccinated to please do so. Please see the attached flyer as well as websites to visit for more information.
Please visit the following websites for more information:
WHAT IS WALKING WITH MOMS
Walking with Moms in Need is a time of service in which Catholic parishes and communities "walk in the shoes" of local pregnant and parenting women in need. Everyone should know how to help moms in difficult circumstances. While not trying to turn Catholic parishes into pregnancy centers, we can support local pregnancy centers where they exist, and we can also find and share other resources with pregnant and parenting women. And where there are few local resources, we can create our own, based on the gifts of the parish community! Please join us in Walking with Moms in Need.
For more information contact Angela Curatalo
CATHOLIC CHARITIES ASSISTING THOSE AFFECTED BY SURFSIDE CONDO COLLAPSE
Two staff members from Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami are now on hand daily at the Family Assistance Center which was set up for relatives of those missing after the collapse of the Champlain Towers South in Surfside.

Guest House provides information, education, treatment and care needed to assure that Catholic clergy, men and women religious, and seminarians suffering from alcoholism, addictions, and other behavioral health conditions have the best opportunity for quality recovery and overall health and wellness.
Guest House is located in Lake Orion, MI and treats Catholic clergy and religious from across the United States and around the world. Although Guest House does bill for the services and treatments provided, each year more than one million dollars of uncompensated care is provided to those in need, no one has ever been turned away. There is a great need for the support of the lay faithful to be able to fulfill the commitment each year to provide the care needed for the clergy and religious.
Additional information regarding the mission and ministry of Guest House can be found by visiting the website.
On a Personal Note...
Please join me in supporting Guest House and its treatment program for priests and religious who, like me, suffer from the disease of addiction. I am deeply grateful for the treatment I received for my alcohol addiction, and support I continue to receive in recovery, from the caring and dedicated staff of the Guest House Program. With faith in the resurrection of our Lord and the new life that it means for all of us, may we offer the support we can to Guest House for the new life it gives to priests and religious from their Good Friday experience of addiction.

Archbishop's Charity Drive 2021
2020 has certainly been a challenging year. Yet, despite all obstacles, the Church remains a beacon of hope-a light to the world. Our faith is not confined to a physical building: the influence of the church does not stop at its front door. The Church, like God's love, extends far beyond its doors bringing Christ to you, wherever you are. Please prayerfully consider mirroring Christ's love by making a gift that allows the Archdiocese of Miami to help those in need.
