Hurricane Irma Relief Efforts
Of the islands in the Caribbean that the Divine Word Missionary serve, Virgin Gorda, Tortola, Sint Maarten and Anguilla sustained the most damage due to Hurricane Irma. It might take months to restore electricity. Damage to the SVD buildings runs approximately into the tens of thousands of dollars. Rebuilding will take a long time. Many of the parishioners are poor and live in sub-standard housing with no insurance will turn to the SVD for assistance. They desperately need help.
If you would like to make a donation to hurricane relief efforts, please make your check payable to Society of the Divine Word and indicate that it is for Hurricane Relief. Send it to:
Society of the Divine Word
Hurricane Relief
P.O. Box 6038
Techny, IL 60082-6038
All donations will be collected at the headquarters of the Chicago Province and shared among the Divine Word parishes adversely affected by these storms.
Thank you for your generosity. Please continue to remember the priests, brothers, parishioners and all hurricane victims in your prayers.
