New Orleans - January 2010




Sisters Luke Boiarski and Nancy Gerth, along with eight other Sisters from the Charity Federation, joined 22 young adults from Canada, Kansas, New York and Ohio in New Orleans, La., from January 4-9 to continue assisting victims of Hurricane Katrina. The group did interior and exterior painting, assisted with a plumbing project, worked on yard clean up, and assisted with arranging a food pantry at Corpus Christi Parish. While in New Orleans, the group stayed at the House of Charity, a newly acquired house for the Charity Federation.
