New Orleans, LA

Logistics
On March 22-28, 2009, a group will spend one week in New Orleans working on the hurricane reliefs efforts in the rebuilding of homes. Working through an organization called the St. Bernard Project, this will be an amazing opportunity. Depending on the stage of re-construction, the group will be gutting, painting or reconstructing anything else they need to do in order to get the house to a livable condition. Once they complete the stage of renovation on one house, they will move on to another house and continue this process until their time of one week is complete.

Mission with Vision
By helping out to those in our own country, the mission participants will encounter poverty and hardship in their own backyard. Through the service and works of mercy, we hope to enrich each member with a similar sense of mercy in their own lives and the desire to serve the poor wherever they are in life. Through daily mass and prayer we also hope to draw each member into a deeper relationship with Christ.
