 After Katrina, Resurrection 

We have received the following letter of thanks concerning rebuilding of Resurrection Parish in New Orleans.  Although we are a small inner-city parish,  donations from the Saint Michael parish community contributed very generously to this rebuilding. Given your parish’s previous support of the Parish Partnership Program and Resurrection Parish in New Orleans , thought you would be interested in this update.  Resurrection will be having a Blessing/Rededication of their parish on Saturday, April 21 ^st with Archbishop Hughes.  They’ve created a powerful slideshow of their recovery.

Thank you for your generosity in supporting your Parish Partner.  Hope you have a joyful Easter!
