GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) _ A church in Grand Forks that received

financial help from a New Jersey congregation after the devastating

1997 Red River flood is repaying the kind deed in the wake of

Superstorm Sandy.

St. Michael's Church and School in Grand Forks plans special

collections this weekend to help out St. Michael's Catholic Church

in Long Branch, N.J., which was battered last week by Sandy.

Development Director Debbie Patella says the damaged New Jersey

church is grateful for the help.

The New Jersey church gave the Grand Forks church $12,000 15

years ago.
