Friends of victims ask for prayers, as well as donations for the deceased, the homeless and the firefighters.
Two women in Southern California are starting what they hope will become a national novena for the victims of the wildfires there, including seven families at their Catholic school who have lost their homes.
The novena, which is available at the “Pray More Novenas” website, begins Friday, Jan. 24 and ends Sunday, Feb. 2, on Candlemas.
The women are also making a pitch for donations for the families, many of whom are staying with friends and relatives or at Airbnb dwellings and have been told it may be three to four years before they can rebuild their homes.
“We just wanted to be able to have a Catholic response to these wildfires and, in corporal works of mercy, to be able to help these Catholic families,” said Kendra Tierney Norton, 48, who operates the “Catholic All Year” blog.
