Archbishop Theodore E. McCarrick has authorized an emergency voluntary collection to be taken at all Catholic parishes in the Newark Archdiocese to assist in relief services in the aftermath of the massive flooding and devastation in northern
Venezuela earlier this month.

The collection can be taken during Masses scheduled over the weekend of January 8-9, 2000

The Archbishop also asked that the victims of this disaster be remembered in the General Intercessions at Mass.
