Support for earthquake relief efforts
Campus initiatives are under way at Boston College to support relief efforts responding to the devastating series of earthquakes in Turkey and northern Syria that have killed 47,000 people and displaced or affected more than 26 million others.
For the past two weeks all Masses on campus have been offered for Turkey and Syria and all collections have been dedicated to relief work in the two countries devastated by the quakes, said Haub Vice President for Mission and Ministry Jack Butler, S.J. BC Campus Ministry has also made additional contributions to relief efforts, he added.
In addition, donations will be collected at the doors of Conte Forum at the March 3 men’s hockey game against the University of Connecticut and the March 4 men’s basketball game against Georgia Tech. Fr. Butler said planning is under way for a “points drive” where students can transfer dining hall credits to support relief efforts.
