Dear Brothers and Sisters in Ministry,
I hope this message finds you safe following the recent severe storms and flooding. We have received reports of significant flooding and damage in various parts of our island home.
Given the extent of the storm's impact, I am requesting that all parishes assess any damage to church properties or facilities. This is crucial for us to understand the scope of the situation across our diocese and to coordinate any necessary assistance.
Please report damage or a need for assistance directly to Anthony Natale, Director of Construction, Episcopal Real Estate of Long Island, at anatale@dioceseli.org.
Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your cooperation during this challenging time. Let us keep those affected by the storm in our prayers.
Blessings,
+Larry
Bishop of Long Island
