Mexico City, Mexico, Sep 12, 2005 / 22:00 pm

The bishops of Mexico have organized a collection for this Sunday, September 25, in order to assist victims of Hurricane Katrina in the United States.

Catholic Charities in the Archdiocese of Mexico has also opened an account to which those interested can make deposits that will in turn be sent to Cardinal Theodore McCarrick to help those affected by the hurricane.

Cardinal Norberto Rivera, Archbishop of Mexico City, expressed his confidence in the generosity of the Mexican people and said the assistance offered to the US by the Mexican government was “a very good sign.”
