An easy way to help the people of Lahaina and all of Maui

Many of you will know that I have been visiting the Hawaiian islands a couple of times a year for the last sixteen or so years. I have been blessed and honored to make many friendships during the course of these visits, particularly with many Catholics of Hawaiian descent.

If you’d like to make a financial contribution to assist those on the island of Maui who have suffered so much due to the horrors of the recent wildfires that killed at least 80 people and destroyed more than 2,200 buildings, you may send a donation marked for Maui or Hawaii to:

St. Augustine Parish
320 N. Saratoga
Ashland, Illinois 62612
I will send your collective donation to friends with EPIC Ministries on the island of of Oahu who are spearheading efforts to assist those affected by this great tragedy on Maui. EPIC Ministries has close contacts on Maui who can see to it that your donation will do the most good possible. As but one example, 100% of your gift will go to alleviate the needs of the people on Maui.
