BRAINTREE, Mass. (AP) _ The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston is projecting its parishes will collect $2 million to support earthquake relief efforts in Haiti. Cardinal Sean O’Malley plans to visit Haiti on Monday to see the recovery efforts and convey his parishioners’ support. He’s a member of the U.S. church’s advisory group on meeting the Haitian church’s long-term needs.

The archdiocese said Wednesday that it’s collected $1.7 million so far and expects to break $2 million when money is counted from 50 parishes who haven’t reported their donations. Parishes held offerings for Haiti on two weekends in January.

O’Malley said he was “deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support,” noting the donations come at a time when many parishioners are struggling financially.
