Rev. Larry Snyder, President of Catholic Charities USA, extends heartfelt prayers and concerns to all of the individuals and families so tragically impacted by this disaster. CCUSA encourages support of Catholic Relief Services, the Church’s agency for international response, and other agencies who are immediately responding to this tragedy, and we stand ready to assist their efforts.
