Mexico City, Mexico, Nov 6, 2007 / 10:37 am
The Mexican bishops’ Committee on Social Ministry and the Caritas National Federation of Mexico have called for solidarity in Mexico and abroad for the nearly one million people affected by flooding in the state of Tabasco, especially in the city of Villahermosa.
The Bishops’ Conference of Mexico, they recalled, recently issued a “national call to solidarity,” asking for a collection to be taken up and prayers to be offered for those affected by the disaster.
“The best way to help is through financial donations which allow us to work with our sister Diocese of Tabasco to get assistance to those most in need,” officials said.
Relief assistance is being channeled through Caritas Mexico, which is evaluating the consequences of the disaster and providing support.
