SCS Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts
-
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me…Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” - Matthew 25: 35-40

1. DONATE ONLINE
In the same way that Katrina destroyed much of New Orleans, Hurricane Helene destroyed much of Western North Carolina. St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church is collecting money for two purposes. Money will first be used to provide hot meals in North Carolina on November 8 - 9 (see details below). All additional money will be sent to North Carolina to assist families that lost their homes in Western North Carolina. Details about the specific charity are coming soon! Thank you in advance for your generosity!
There are FOUR ways you can donate:
1). There was a second collection taken at all Masses at SCS on October 5 - 6.
2). Click the "Donate Online" button below
3). Drop off in the parish office a check payable to "St. Catherine of Siena" and put "Hurricane Helene" in the memo.
4). There will be a dress down day at school on Monday, October 14. Any student or teacher who donates at least $5 to the relief efforts will have a free dress down day.
