All:

Please, please consider a gift to IOCC. We have been in Iraq since about 2003. I can tell you that IOCC is the finest charity I have ever been involved with. Please also consider having your parish connect with IOCC to help.

Thank you, Kolo. I'm the editor of our little bitty monthly parish newsletter, The Disciple, and I put in a feature story about what ISIS is doing to the Christians in their conquered realms, especially Mosul/Iraq.

I had urged support for the Catholic Relief Services ---CRS, earmarked for Iraq and Syria -- and Aid to the Church in Need. Both are Catholic charities, and of course they aid everybody. But I hadn't known about IOCC. I will list them in any follow-ups in The Disciple.
