Seventeen of the 24 counties within the Sioux City Diocese were included in Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds’ disaster declarations. 

Prosser told CNA that several Catholic parishes had to cancel weekend Masses and many are in the process of getting water damage mitigated. She also said the diocesan Catholic Charities office is receiving a grant from Catholic Charities USA to provide direct financial assistance to area flood victims.

Nickless in a statement said “homes, vehicles, possessions, and perhaps livelihoods have been lost.”

“As numerous areas of our diocese have been devastated by historic flooding, we have thousands of people who are in need,” Nickless said in a statement to CNA. 

“People of all faiths are suffering,” the bishop said. “The faithful of the Diocese of Sioux City and I are praying for those affected by the flooding and will be assisting where we are able.” 

Some parishes, including Sacred Heart in Spencer, Iowa, had to cancel weekend Masses. As of June 24 the parish office was closed as the campus was without power, phone, or internet service.
