Please pardon my ignorance, but for which archdiocese is Hannan the ordinary? I thought Hughes was the Archbishop of New Orleans. Is Hannan retired?

Thanks for the info and pictures. My family are looking for somone who lives in Chalmette, but teaches at Holy Cross. We thought he might have taken shelter there as he has in the past.
Waiting and wondering is horrible.

Is Holy Cross in Chalmette?

They are going to mount a ferry evacuation of 1600 people from Chalmette in the morning -- just heard it on the Louisiana scanner via internet.

Bless you, seamole, for your work on this.

Most folks don't know but Jackson Square in New Orleans is modeled after Place des Voges in Paris. Very few Americans go to Place des Voges in Paris but I love it and always recommend that American tourists make a special effort to go there because of the link to New Orleans.

Got it. I took a look at seamole's picture and realized where it was...near St. Claude Ave. right? (Maybe I've got that wrong too.) I'm just glad to see that from above things look pretty good for Holy Cross all things considered.

I'll let you know if I hear anything else about Chalmette.

I'm greatly relieved to see that Old St. Patricks looks so good from above. I pray from the ground it is as good.

Does anyone know about Christ Church Anglican Catholic in Metairie? And/Or the Good Samaritan Services also there in Metairie? Our bishop has been trying to get a some sense of how it fared.
