My Dear People of God, I would like to sincerely thank you all for your kindness and generosity for our recent second collection to benefit our Sisters and Brothers affected by the recent Camp Fire. Together as a Diocese we were able to collect and to send aid totaling $157,110.62 to our friends in the Diocese of Sacramento. Your generosity will bring much comfort to them, and assure them that they are not alone. I ask that you continue to pray for those affected communities and families, and thank you again for graciously contributing to the relief efforts. May the Lord reward you for your goodness! Bishop Cotta
