(OSV News) — A Washington state bishop is calling for prayer as wildfires have torched entire neighborhoods, leading to thousands of evacuations and hundreds of destroyed buildings. Bishop Daly urged “everyone to stay informed by following the guidance” of public safety and emergency management officials. The Archdiocese of Seattle announced it is asking the faithful of that archdiocese to donate to Catholic Charities Eastern Washington fund to help victims of the Spokane fires. “To those who have been affected by these fires, please know that you are not alone,” said Bishop Daly in his message. “As a diocesan family, let us be people of hope,” said Bishop Daly.
