Relief for Floods in Kerala India

The state of Kerala in southern India is experiencing record-breaking flooding and heartbreaking loss-of-life and property.   The Kolbe Franciscan Ashram and other friaries in the area are sheltering hundreds of people and providing relief assistance to the community.   Please consider donating to support their efforts.   

Many people in the Bellarmine University community and beyond have experienced the incredible hospitality of the Franciscans from Kerala, India over the last ten years.  Now it is time for us to return the generosity to help those in need. 

All of the money donated here will be routed through the Province of our Lady of Consolation in Mount St. Francis, Indiana, USA.   They have the ability to wire the funds directly to the friary in India so that they can use the funds in the most efficient way possible for distributing relief aid.
