Hurricane Katrina; an Address to Send Help

A Message from Anne Rice, Kagyu Tashi Chö Dzong

Dear ones. I've been receiving Emails from all over the world from people expressing love for New Orleans and sympathy for what is happening throughout the South. Some of you want to help. You have donations you can make -- material goods perhaps, cash, whatever. Well I have a key address for you:

Fr. Joseph P. Callipare
St. John Catholic Church
303 So. Navy Blvd
Pensacola, Florida 32507

Fr. Joe was my pastor during the summers I lived in Florida and he is a great priest and a great man. His school is taking in some 42 children who are part of the evacuation from the storm. I believe most of these kids come from nearby Mississippi which was really slammed, as you know, with massive destruction. Fr. Joe will use anything you donate directly to benefit the kids. Don't think any donation is too small. He can use it. There are pastors like this working all through the South. This is one I know personally and deeply admire. I urge you to send Fr. Joe whatever you can.

Take care and love,
Anne Rice
