Catholic Relief Services has already begun assisting the people of Haiti in the aftermath of a massive earthquake that struck our hemisphere’s poorest country on Jan. 12th.  You can support CRS’ emergency relief efforts at www.crs.org.  

The Archdiocese of Newark’s mission in Turks & Caicos is aiding Haiti and Archbishop Myers has authorized a special collection for Haitian earthquake relief.  Pope Benedict has urged generous international aid for Haiti and also asked prayers for the victims.
