Chi-Rho Grotto is setting aside November 21, 2018 to gather the community at large to pray on behalf of the suffering caused by the ravaging forest fires in California. Many people and animals have lost their lives and over 1000 are missing. There has been extensive property damage, and our public service sector is working tirelessly to bring the fires to heel.
If you feel the call to pray with us please join us on this day at your convenience.
We are also holding space and to call for donations directly to Butte County as they have already seen the confirmation of 77 deaths related to the fires and have 993 people unaccounted for.

"Our fund is going to support the needs of the evacuation centers who opened their doors to support the people who lost their homes and are fleeing the fire. These centers are very often not prepared to handle the massive influx of people but do it anyway. Our immediate funding priorities are to make sure they have whatever they need to continue providing these vital services. These needs include portable toilets, portable showers, blankets, energy and water costs, and countless other needs.
Once the immediate needs begin to get met and as we move out of a crisis situation, the fund will transition to supporting long-term recovery efforts. Since we are not yet out of the crisis we do not know exactly what these needs will be, but the money will ultimately go to supporting victims of the Camp Fire"
