Oklahoma Tragedy
After the trauma and tragedy of the tornadoes near Oklahoma City this past week, the task of caring and rebuilding continues in earnest.  Our brothers and sisters of Catholic Charities in Oklahoma would surely put whatever we can offer to very good use.  You can help by making a check out to “Catholic Charities of Los Angeles” with the words “Oklahoma Relief” in the lower left-hand corner of your check.  Mail your donation to the address below and know that all monies collected will be forwarded directly to Catholic Charities of Oklahoma.
