Reverend Joseph E. Kurtz, D.D. Bishop | Archdiocese of Louisville

The Archdiocese of Louisville has initiated a fundraising campaign to support relief efforts for Hurricane Helene. The hurricane, classified as a category four storm, struck the Florida panhandle on September 27 and caused extensive damage across several states including Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee.

Archbishop Shelton J. Fabre expressed gratitude towards those within the archdiocese who are eager to contribute. He emphasized that the collected funds will aid in "support emergency response and the pastoral and reconstruction efforts needed for the civic and faith communities affected," according to his letter addressed to pastors.

Donations can be made through parishes or individually by sending contributions to the Archdiocese of Louisville at 3940 Poplar Level Road, Louisville, Kentucky. The address should be marked with "ATTN: Hurricane Helene Relief."

Furthermore, Catholic Charities of Louisville provides an online donation option through its portal at cclou.org, allowing direct contributions to Catholic Charities USA.
