"As numerous areas of our diocese have been devastated by historic flooding, we have thousands in northwest Iowa who are in need. Homes, vehicles, possessions and perhaps livelihoods have been lost and people of all faiths are suffering.

"Bishop Nickless is requesting that parishes take a special collection the weekend of July 6 and 7, 2024. Our diocesan Catholic Charities is receiving a grant from Catholic Charities USA in order to provide direct financial assistance to flood victims in our area. Funds contributed to this flood relief collection will be added to this assistance program. Please keep all the victims in your prayers.

"May God bless you with his abiding peace and may He receive with divine joy the labors and intentions of our hearts. Your brother in Christ, Most Reverend R. Walker Nickless, Bishop of Sioux City"
