Diocese sends aid to Haiti and they send us a face of hope

Parishes, agencies and ministries in the Diocese of Corpus Christi have joined the international effort to send aid to Haiti and will continue to do so. A special collection was taken up across the country and locally the weekend of Jan. 16 and 17. Our people and parishes have responded generously by donating over $169,000 which has been sent directly to Catholic Relief Services (CRS). Catholic Charities of Corpus Christi immediately cut a $20,000 check for CRS and is taking online donations. The Columbian Ladies from Our Lady of Guadalupe donated $10,000 to the local chapter of the American Red Cross, which will be used directly for relief efforts in Haiti.

"Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours.
Blessed are you
who are now hungry,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you
who are now weeping, for you will laugh.
Blessed are you
when people hate you,
and when they exclude
and insult you,
and denounce your name
as evil on account of
the Son of Man.
Rejoice and leap for joy
on that day!
Behold, your reward
will be great in heaven.
For their ancestors
treated the prophets
in the same way.
But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.
Woe to you who are filled now, for you will be hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now, for you will
grieve and weep.
Woe to you when
all speak well of you,
for their ancestors
treated the false
prophets in this way."

From the Gospel of Luke
proclaimed on Feb. 14,
the sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
