PRAYERS FOR THE VICTIMS OF HURRICANE KATRINA

For those who died in Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath: |
St Thomas The Apostle Parish
720 East Beach Blvd
Long Beach, MS 39560Reported by Pass Christian Alderman living in Long Beach...
Bookmarking for later. Has anyone heard about St. Frances Cabrini school/parish in NO? My daughter's class at her Catholic school had penpals with 2nd graders there last year. It's near the lake side of town per Google Earth.
What is the condition of St. Louis Cathedral in new Orleans? I've only heard that a statue of Christ with outstreched arms escaped injury from 2 giant trees that fell in front. But that report was made before the flooding started.
Some things are too horrible to think about.
It will be days before we know anything. The pictures from the air are all we have right now. Once the water goes down, is when the full extent will be known. I've never been through a hurricane, but plenty of floods and some things you just don't forget.
Also the St. Thomas the Apostle gym where evacuees took protection and survived Camille. Wiped out, according to the newspapers.
I know that St. James in Gulfport is ok because my b-i-l is Pastor there. SirKit's sister finally heard from him this afternoon. We were SO releived to know he was fine. His parish is only about 1/2 mile off the beach, so it was a real concern. I don't know about the parishes in Biloxi. St. Michael's did make it through Camille, but this storm did MUCH more damage to that area of Biloxi than Camille did. The Cathedral must be OK because the Bishop was making the rounds checking the parishes today. He came by my b-i-l's parish to make sure he was OK.
Did anyone else see Raymond Arroyo being interviewed on CNN tonight? He was on with Aaron Brown. As far as I could tell, Aaron never mentioned that Raymond was on EWTN. He only identified him as the owner of a restaurant in New Orleans. It is a restaurant that was started by Raymond's grandfather, so I guess it has stayed in the family even since. Apparently Raymond and his wife had a daughter who was born 10 days before the storm. He came down from Birmingham to get them before it hit, and he assumes his home is gone. He was very peaceful about it, though, because he said he was Blessed that his family was safe and all together.
Isn't Mother Angelica's headquarters done there somewhere? I tried to find an address this morning on EWTN website, but then left for Mass and abandoned the search.
St. Stanislaus in Bay St. Louis suffered significant damage, but no Brothers, students, faculty were hurt. Water reached the second floor of the school where the international students were staying. The 30-foot wall of water washed away the first and second floors of the Brothers residence. The elderly and infirm Brothers and all of the students were evacuated by a bus chartered out of Mobile Tuesday morning to Mobile. The Brothers are at McGill and St. Catherine's Rectory in Mobile. The students are on their way to Baton Rouge where they will spend Tuesday night at Catholic High School while arrangements will be made for them to fly to their respective countries. Brother Xavier at 8:45 p.m. Tuesday, August 30.
Somewhere in these posts is one wherein JFKjr blames it all on "Divine" intersession.

Louisiana, Mississippi Dioceses Devastated By Hurricane; Poorest Dioceses Hurt The Most
Anyone know anything about Holy Cross High School in New Orleans? Is it underwater?
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.
Dear Siobhan,
As the destruction is tolled, it may be a little comforting to know that already, many are marshalling resources to rebuild.
As an example, I know that the Knights of Columbus has already set aside a minimum of $2.5 million in relief for the region, with $1 million minimum set aside to rebuild Catholic schools. That's just what's coming from the Supreme Council.
Already, Catholics from all over the United States are planning and donating for the rebuilding of our Catholic institutions.
