<p><b>SUBJECT: </b>Emergency National Collection to Assist Dioceses Affected by Hurricane Harvey<b> </b></p> 
<p><b>FROM: </b>Most Rev. David A. Konderla </p> 
<p><b>TO: </b>Pastors in the Diocese of Tulsa &amp; Eastern Oklahoma</p> 
<p><b>DATE: </b>August 29, 2017, the Passion of St. John the Baptist </p> 
<p>In agreement with the efforts of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and in solidarity with those who suffer, I ask that pastors please take up a second collection to help bring charity and aid to those affected by Hurricane Harvey. Please see the following communication from the USCCB, which can be used for bulletin announcements, social media, and other communications. Given the urgency of the situation, pastors should postpone the Catholic University collection until the following weekend. </p> 
<p>I thank you all for your efforts and for the generosity of the Christian Faithful in Eastern Oklahoma. <br />  </p> 
<hr /> 
<p>Emergency National Collection To Assist Dioceses Affected By Hurricane Harvey </p> 
<p>August 29, 2017 </p> 
<p>WASHlNGTON-Archbishop Jose H. Gomez of Los Angeles, vice-president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has called on the bishops to consider taking up a special collection to support victims of Hurricane Harvey and to provide pastoral and rebuilding support to impacted dioceses. </p> 
<p>In an August 28 letter, Archbishop Gomez requested that the collection be held during the weekend of September 1-2 or September 8-9. </p> 
<p>&quot;Our hearts and prayers go out to the families that have lost loved ones and to all who have lost homes and businesses along with their sense of peace and normalcy,&quot; said Archbishop Gomez. &quot;We also stand with our brother bishops in the region who have the difficult task of providing pastoral care in these most trying times while managing their own losses. Our prayerful and financial support is urgently needed.&quot; </p> 
<p>Funds given to the collection will support the humanitarian and recovery efforts of Catholic Charities USA and will provide pastoral and rebuilding support to impacted dioceses through the USCCB. The hurricane has affected southeast Texas, including the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, and could also strike Louisiana. As a result, Cardinal Daniel N.DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, president ofUSSCB, has asked Archbishop Gomez to coordinate this effort.</p> 
<p>&quot;Together with Cardinal DiNardo and the bishops throughout the affected region I express deep gratitude to the first responders and countless volunteers who are assisting the Gulf Coast region in countless ways,&quot; Archbishop Gomez said. </p> 
<p>This collection is to be taken on the weekend alternate to the CUA Collection. For more information on how to participate contact your local diocese or visit: <a href="https://catholiccharitiesusa.org/" target="_blank">https://catholiccharitiesusa.org/</a></p>
