Water distribution at Center for Hope, Flint
Most Reverend Earl Boyea, Bishop of Lansing, released the following statement Monday, February 15:
As the water crisis continues in Flint, I invite all to redouble both their prayers and their generosity. It is gratifying to see that Catholic communities in Michigan and beyond have come forward to assist the remarkable efforts of Catholic Charities, both at the Sister Claudia Burke Center for Hope and the St. Luke N.E.W. Life Center. However, the roots of Flint’s difficulties are deep, and it will take years of courageous, difficult, loving effort to rebuild this community. During this holy season of Lent, please take time to ask the Lord, in a particular way, to guide those seeking to help and to protect the children and the vulnerable.
For those needing assistance, the following sites and times are available. These sites also all welcome volunteer assistance:
