Bronx Fire Victims

Here in my neighborhood, the twenty six families that have been displaced by the most deadly fire in NYC in many years—13 dead and 3 in critical condition.  They are in urgent need of money for funeral expenses, housing,  and personal expenses. 

I have set set up a committee with local community leaders, with supervision from Catholic Charities of New York, to make sure every penny goes directly to these families.  

The financial manager of Catholic Charities of New York will be Mr Michael Favata 

I am the the pastor of Our Lady of Mt Carmel Church, Bronx, just a few blocks from the fire scene.  We have been working with the families from the moment of the fire and we know these families and their needs in great detail.  

The monies will be distributed with great care and efficiency to the families, based on need, as determined by the professional case management assessments our committee is carrying out.  

God bless you all!!
