POZEGA, Aug 23 (Hina) - Pozega Bishop Antun Skvorcevic on Monday called on all his priests to conduct a fund raising collection on Sunday August 29 the proceeds of which will be intended for the victims of the Turkey earthquake.
"Electronic media channels are televising horrific scenes of human tragedy and of people lost and full of fear searching for traces of life under the ruins. The geographic distance of these events, nor the difference in nationality, religious or cultural belonging does not minimise the distress nor the feelings of empathy aroused within us as believers and we recognise the suffering of our brothers", the bishop notes in his notice to his clergy. Contributions collected will be forwarded via the diocesan Caritas the secretary of the Turkish Bishops' Conference Msgr. Georges Marovitch who will see that these funds are distributed to those most in need.(hina) sp
