Katrina Rebuilding Effort

Helping parishes rebuild

News reports continue to show that the people of the Gulf Coast devastated by Hurricane Katrina on Aug. 29, 2005, still need much help to get their lives back on track. The staff of Our Sunday Visitor committed to helping two Gulf Coast parishes rebuild after the storm and sent $10,000 each to Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Slidell, La., and St. Paul Parish in Pass Christian, Miss.
