It sounds like we have some friends in trouble here.
Sounds like we need Nuns with Guns. (Only kidding>)
what the heck is going on in Arkansas?!!!
those poor nuns. I hope God sends them some protection besides the angels...or at least some armed 'angels" to keep them safe.
got that wrong....they are in LA.
?
Ping!
Wow! Is there anything that distant Freepers can do, I wonder?
There have to be some Catholic freepers in surrounding states who could respond quickly.
Also, Catholic Charities is taking donations. You'd think they could help.
That's what I'm hoping. I don't even know if I posted this properly b/c I don't see it on the Freeper mainpage. I've never posted here before. Prayers please. I'm in DC and not close enough.
Are you sure they are having these issues? Has the nun who made the call on the borrowed cell phone call the state troopers or st. tammany parish sheriff's office? The Knights of Columbus run a camp on the grounds, so I would be surprised no one has helped them. I phone someone after reading your post and will have them, if they can travel, go over there or send help.
hope this is not a bullshoot post.
Catholic Charities may not know the situation.
Tiny nuns.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I went to Catholic Charities USA Tuesday afternoon to ask if there was anything to do, answer phones, do office work?
They were "still assessing."
Rinequx:
I trust the blog I pulled it from. I can't be certain but I'd rather be wrong then have these people not get what they need.
As I said, I phoned a friend who is about 35 minutes from there. He will let me know if someone is closer or if he can drive there. I have to tell you, they should be well stocked with food. I have been there a few times, yet it was several years ago.
If I hear back from my friend, I'll let you know. Thanks.
Thank you. You are so kind.
You are so kind.
No Im not, it's just a great place to hear mass. The monks singing inside the Abby is unbelievable. The place is worth saving.
I just cant believe no police/sheriff office has been over there.
Maybe they mean "closets" or "pantries"? Sounds like someone is not a native speaker of American!
