A group of Superiors General, including Javier Álvarez Ossorio, decided to contact the bishops of Syria to see how to help the Christians who are suffering there; living in deplorable conditions due to war and religious persecution.
The Bishop of Aleppo, Mgr Antoine Audo, the one in charge of Caritas in Syria, has responded by requesting assistance in terms of food and clothing.
We have decided to buy some winter clothing for 300 children, with a total cost of $ 7,500 (USD). We will make the shipment immediately. It is now snowing in Syria!
For everyone who is willing to give us help in getting this amount, please make your contributions addressed to the General Government through the Provinces, Vice-provinces or Delegations.
Thank you!
