In the wake of Hurricanes Fiona and Ian, Bishop Raica humbly asked the faithful of the Diocese of Birmingham to consider assisting those in need. “It is my hope,” he wrote, “that, as a community of faith, we can provide spiritual and material relief to those areas most affected.”

Parishes within the diocese will be holding second collections through the end of October. Checks designated for the “Bishop’s Disaster Relief Fund – Hurricanes Fiona and Ian” can also be sent to the Diocese of Birmingham at P.O. Box 12047, Birmingham, AL 35202.
