Solidarity with the people afflicted

From the news received via the communications media and the Brothers with regard to the recent floods in the Philippines, we know that, at present, there are more than 650 dead, 800 missing and more than 100,000 persons affected by the disaster. We have heard that neither the Marist Brothers nor their works have been affected, except for the house of the family of a Brother. We express our solidarity with the Filipino people.
