Is this going to be a fund raising too or just a mass dedicated to the victims of the Yolanda superstorm? I think we should really organize a fund raising event (asap) in order to help more. We did one when the Philippines was hit by Ondoy, but this one is way more catastrophic than that.
CDSam, Thank you for your inquiry, this special mass on November 16, 2013 is specially dedicated to the victims of typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) and their families. Collection for this mass will go to help the survivors and all victims. Please join us in this prayers and invite your friends and families to pray with us as well. Venue - HOLY CROSS CATHEDRAL - 1400 Washington Street, Boston, MA 02118. Time is at 6:30 pm. Y-Chie
This is a great effort. However, i think we can do more to help. This will be a long process of recovery and they will need a lot of assistance. The Filipino community in Massachusetts are very generous people. I am sure that they will support us if we do a fund raising event. I am speaking in behalf of my group that would love to do this. I really hope that the officers of the various Filipino communities would consider this.
Thanks.
