Notre Dame Flood Relief Program
Due to the recent major flooding events in Kerr County, Notre Dame Catholic Church has been blessed by significant donations from around the country. Following the teachings of Jesus in the parable of the “Good Samaritan” we are thankful for the generosity of so many people to assist our neighbors.
The purpose of the NDFR Program is to support those most in need after the Flood Event, such as those individuals that suffered unrecoverable financial loss and damage. In doing so, it seeks to alleviate personal hardship and distress arising as a result of the Flood Event. Relief provided under the NDFR Program will be awarded to as many individuals as possible and priority will be given to those most in need of assistance and they may be partnered with other forms of assistance, including referrals to other agencies.
To apply for the NDFR Program, individuals or families should call or stop by:

“It has wounded many in the community, but what it has also done is brought the community much closer together. It has also allowed us to recognize just how connected we are as human beings and as Catholics. The overwhelming support that we have been getting—prayers from all over the country, priests, religious, retired laypeople, all reaching out asking, ‘How can we help? What can we do?’—it pulls at our heartstrings.”
– Fr. Scott Janysek, Pastor

Floodwaters have devastated Kerr County—displacing families, damaging homes, and disrupting lives. This fund was created to directly assist those affected by the July 4th flooding of the Guadalupe River throughout the region.
Here’s how you can help:
PRAY: First and foremost, pray for those impacted. Prayer is one of the most powerful acts we can offer.
As Fr. Scott reminds us, "When we say that I will pray for you, we don't simply mean it as a cliché...we are enacting and doing one of the most powerful things we can do as human beings."
GIVE:If you're able to give financially, donations made through the parish's relief fund giving page will go directly to families in need. Notre Dame's ministry and local presence make sure your support reaches the people who need it most.
