One day after the destructive wildfire ripped through the towns of Superior and Louisville, destroying more than 1,000 homes and taking one life, Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila announced the formation of the emergency fund.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are in my prayers and the prayers of our faithful throughout the archdiocese,\u201d Aquila said. \u201cKnow that I am asking our parishes and entities to help in whatever ways they can.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]The call by the archbishop was swiftly heeded by schools like Regis Jesuit High school which rallied its students to meet a donation goal of $5,000 this month.

Donor and Regis High School Junior Hayden N. said he was \u201csurprised and shocked\u201d when he first heard about the fire.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt concerned I might know someone in the fire; I wondered what I could do to help,\u201d Hayden said. \u201cRegis teaches us to always help those in need, so I thought it was important to donate.\u201d<\/p>\n
A deacon from Sacred Heart of Mary Church in Boulder is heading a committee that includes members of the parishes most impacted in the Marshall Fire area, St. Louis, Immaculate Conception and St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Churches. The committee along with Catholic Charities is determining ways to administer the money to victims, Uebbing said.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding”
