By Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M.

More than 2,700 people died from Friday’s 7.7 magnitude quake that struck near Mandalay, the second-largest city in Myanmar. Countless lives have been affected by the devastation there. The Church in Myanmar has reached out for urgent, essential support. As Bishop of the Diocese of Trenton, I ask your prayers for our sisters and brothers there and invite you to consider a Lenten almsgiving donation to victims’ relief efforts through Catholic Relief Services at https://www.crs.org/. Thank you.
