Bishop Manuel invites you to join our relief efforts for Venezuela
Weekend of July 4-5, 2026
Together in Faith. Together in Hope.
“In moments of great suffering, the Church is called to be a visible sign of Christ's compassion.
The devastating earthquakes in Venezuela have left countless families grieving the loss of loved ones, displaced from their homes, and in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. I invite every parish and every member of the faithful throughout the Diocese of Palm Beach to join us in responding with generosity and hope.
On the weekend of July 4–5, a Special Second Collection will be taken up at all Masses, and our parishes will also participate in an Emergency Relief Drive to collect essential supplies for those affected.
Additional information will be shared through the diocese’s communication outlets.
Please join me in praying for the people of Venezuela, especially those who have lost family members, homes, and livelihoods. May Our Lady of Coromoto, Patroness of Venezuela, intercede for her people, and may the Lord bless all who extend their hearts and hands in charity.” - Bishop Manuel de Jesús Rodríguez, J.C.D.
