BOSTON (WHDH) - In the wake of the devastation of Hurricanes Ian and Fiona, Cardinal Seán O’Malley has asked for a special collection for assistance on those recovery efforts.

The collection will take place on Oct. 15 and 16 in all parishes in the Archdiocese of Boston.

The funds will help provide clean water, food, shelter, medical care and aid in long-term recovery efforts. It’ll also support pastoral and social Church needs in areas affected by the hurricanes.
