Second Collection

The USCCB is urging our assistance to those affected by the two recent natural disasters, Hurricane Helene, and Hurricane Milton.  We will have a second collection for the relief efforts of these two natural disasters.  Checks received from parish members should be made payable to St. Mary’s Parish.  The total funds received from the parish collection will be made payable to the Diocese of Winona/Rochester Special Collections and will be forwarded to the Diocesan Finance Office.  The Diocesan Finance Office will then forward collected funds to the USCCB Bishops Emergency Disaster Fund.  Catholic Charities USA is coordinating relief efforts.  Thank you for your consideration and generosity as we assist in these relief efforts.
