Receding waters after a devastating flood in August in Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico, which left about 50 persons dead, more than 300 people mission, and 200,000 homeless. The flood waters reached as high as six feet in the city of 200,000. Bishop Jose G. Saucedo of the Diocese of Central and South Mexico, with a $4,000 emergency grant from the Presiding Bishop's Fund for World Relief, purchased 10 tons of family food packages and blankets and distributed them in the stricken city.
