So, I have been in New Orleans this week, helping a fine crew from the Diocese of Olympia, most from St. Mark's Cathedral. We have had an excellent week, making contact with our dear friends at St. Paul's, Lakeview, Connie and Mark Uddo and their new Rector Scott. We were warmly and hospitably welcomed by St. Paul's staff, from school and church, Bishop Charles Jenkins of Louisiana and a great meal prepared by Mark Uddo and some wonderful volunteers there. There is so much still yet to do here.
This relationship is deep, between Olympia and St. Paul's, New Orleans, and we hope that it can continue for a long time to come. There are some very dedicated young people working to rebuild this region, and four of them helped our crews this week. In the video below you will see Jane ( who I call Lisa, because she looks so much like a Lisa I knew growing up!) and Spencer. They were incredible!
The paint on the house we worked on is named, Lucky Penny! Blessings to all of you!
