St. Joseph Catholic School (March 2014)

Such a dynamic group of volunteers! St. Joseph Catholic School way up in South Carolina sent a group of young folks to volunteer for a week in March.  They worked alongside the team from Catholic Missions Trips on Angel and Nelson’s house, painting the exterior of the large house.  In addition, they pitched in on hanging siding with Pastor Juan at Philippi Evangelical COGIC down in the 9th Ward of New Orleans. We’ve been sending volunteers to assist in the rebuilding of the church’s children’s building, and this crew did quite of bit of work to move that along.

In addition to the work they accomplished during the week, these students and their two wonderful chaperones were able to experience several lent services in New Orleans. New Orleans is a fascinating city where lent is practiced by most, even if they have no religious affiliation, thus offering a variety of experiences to those who wish to attend daily services.
