Please be advised that Fr. Richard would never send a personal email asking anyone for money, gift cards, or anything else.
Scammers have become particularly desperate during these days of pandemic: they have been targeting faith leaders more vigorously including Father Richard.
In the past, parishioners have given hundreds of dollars in gift card numbers to scammers thinking they were helping out our pastor or Sr. Clara.
Please do not send gift cards, gift card numbers, money, or anything else to anyone claiming to be Fr. Richard or Sister Clara, or any staff member.
If you receive emails from any other email addresses with someone claiming to be Fr. Richard or Sister Clara, please forward thee email(s) to law enforcement.
