Italian Caritas has always met the needs of Institute emergencies and the sisters are happy this time to be able to contribute to the great effort of the Church in dealing with this destruction caused by the earthquake in the area of Central Italy.
As they communicated following the powerful shocks of August 24, even the recent earthquakes of October did not strike the FMA houses because they are no longer present in this area. Even these last few days have provoked much destruction and left tens of thousands of people homeless.
“It is very sad to see the that the greater part of the historical and artistic patrimony of these towns has been irreparably destroyed, changing forever the economy of the zone that enjoyed tourism tied to an ancient and traditional world. These towns will rise again, but they must invent another future” expressed the FMA on their website.
The generous gift with which the FMA have participated as Institute in this trial, will contribute to building the future of the families that have lost the precious wealth of their home in the earthquake.
