California Wild Fire Message and Support

Dear Members of the Fordham Community,

As we read about the widespread destruction caused by the fires currently raging in the Los Angeles area, our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragedy. We pray that God hold gently those who have lost their lives and give consolation to their families. May those who are homeless find a welcome with family and neighbors. May those at risk find safety and protection. We pray in a special way for all those bravely working to fight the blazes and safeguard those in danger. May God protect their efforts. 

Aside from prayerful support, please consider giving to this weekend’s collection at the University Church for Catholic Charities USA’s disaster relief efforts or other agencies helping those harmed in these fires.

Rev. Philip G. Judge, S.J.
