Cleveland diocesan parishes have taken second collections for earthquake victims.
A powerful new earthquake struck Nepal on Tuesday, May 12, 2015 bringing more damage to this country already devastated by a major quake three weeks ago.

When the latest earthquake hit, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) teams were out in the field in the Gorkha district, reaching people in communities damaged in the first quake with relief supplies.

?A school right at our distribution site partially collapsed,? said Jennifer Hardy, CRS Regional Information Officer who was on the scene. ?But no one was hurt there and within ten minutes we were back at work, handing out emergency shelter and sanitation supplies."
