ATLANTA–On Monday, Dec. 13, Archbishop Gregory J. Hartmayer, OFM Conv., of Atlanta, offered a message in support of the tornado victims in Kentucky and its neighboring states:

“I hope that the people of the Archdiocese of Atlanta will join me in prayer and generosity in response to the deadly tornadoes in Kentucky and Illinois this weekend. It is hard to comprehend the extent of the devastation.

Catholic Charities USA is already at work to assist these communities. You can help with a donation to their disaster relief fund at any time.

May the God of mercy and light grant healing and hope to all those who are now trying to find a way forward.”
