Prayers and Support for Flood-Affected Families

As of August 28, 2025, heavy flooding along the Chenab and Sutlej rivers has caused severe damage across Southern and Central Punjab, especially in Daska District. Several villages of St. Mary’s Parish, Jamke Cheema have been badly affected—homes submerged, crops destroyed, and livestock lost.

Under the leadership of Rev. Fr. Azeem John, OFM (Parish Priest), the parish pastoral team and parishioners are actively visiting the affected families and distributing essential food supplies (rashan). Their presence is a sign of the Church’s care and solidarity with those suffering.

We invite all faithful to keep the flood-affected families in your prayers. May God grant them protection, courage, and strength in this difficult time.
