About this sermon
The death toll from Hurricane Helene now reaches 200 people. This includes some workers in Tennessee where flooding swept away 11 workers at a plastics factory. Only 5 workers were rescued. Two are confirmed dead. The investigation is now underway because the survivors say they were told to stay on the job even as the floodwaters rose. Impact Plastics issued as statement denying the allegations. The Air National Guard is leading the charge in recovery efforts in East Tennessee. Heavy machinery and trained personnel are providing the aid in the area. Bishop Mark Beckman of the Diocese of Knoxville, joins to share what the situation is like in his diocese right now as it's been one week since Helene made landfall. Bishop Mark tells us how he is helping parishioners and others process through this tragedy both emotionally and spiritually. In a press release, he announced that he was working closely with Catholic Charities to bring in national resources to the most badly affected areas. Bishop Mark discusses more about that. He fills us in on what the biggest needs are and how people are coping. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
