As an initial financial assistance to the victims of the recent Typhoon Odette that totally devastated many areas around the Philippines, Pope Francis expressed his sincere gesture of solidarity by donating 100,000 euros (or around P5.8 million) that would be channeled through the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Holy See, \u201cThis contribution, which accompanies the prayer in support of the beloved Filipino population, is part of the aid that is being activated throughout the Catholic Church and which involves numerous charitable organizations, in addition to various Episcopal Conferences.\u201d<\/em> It can be recalled that seven days after the typhoon hit the Philippines, the Pope asked the faithful to pray for the Philippines before the child Jesus, Sr. Sto. Ni\u00f1o, and with the invocation of the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary, during his Angelus last December 19, 2021 in St. Peter\u2019s Square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
