Donations for Diocesan Fire Relief
Urgent help is needed to support parishes experiencing devastating losses from the fires. The scope of this disaster is mind-boggling: a majority of parishioners of St. Matthew's Pacific Palisades lost their homes; St. Mark's in Altadena was totally destroyed along with the homes of many of their parishioners. Local congregations in devastated areas have launched their own emergency giving portals, to which generous giving also is encouraged.
- St. Mark’s, Altadena – where 40 homes of parishioners burned along with historic church and school buildings — has a giving portal here.
- St. Matthew’s Church – where an estimated 75% of parishioners have lost their homes, and parish school buildings and rectories have burned — has launched the Palisades Fire Pastoral Fund. Link is here.
- Pasadena’s All Saints Church — where 72 families and individuals have lost homes – is receiving relief donations here.
- Pasadena’s St. Barnabas Church — where four parish families and numerous neighbors have lost homes – has established the ‘DENA Strong fund to which gifts may be made here.
- Church of Our Saviour, San Gabriel — where four homes of parishioners were lost along with a sober-living facility — is accepting donations on their website here (click “Give Now”).
