The Need
During the afternoon of July 14, 2022, a devastating fire raged on the grounds of the sanctuary. Because of strong winds, the fire spread rapidly jumping from one tree to another and eventually to some of the buildings. After long hours of exhaustive work by the heroic crews of the firefighting aircraft and fire trucks, the fire was brought under control.
But the fire unfortunately caused extensive damage to the roof of our Church; our places of prayer; the olive trees on our premises; and the workers’ residence at our pilgrimage site. With the help of aircraft, the fire was eventually extinguished.
In the words of Sister Telesphoro, the director of the sanctuary, we ‘witnessed a miracle in the protection of our God.” Fortunately, there were no casualties.
“Any assistance is welcome. We are in urgent need for your financial support to help us rebuild in the coming year. The rebuilding costs are estimated at US$ 600,000.
“We thank all people of good will that want to help us and he Church of God. After more than two years of COVID and without any income we are really in a very desperate situation. It is urgent that the rebuilding work begins before the rains cause more damage.”
