The St. Bernard Project was featured in the Washington Post.  It is a great article so I thought I would include it on the blog...hope you enjoy reading about the program we partner with here in Chalmette.  Liz and Zach are admirable role models for anyone who wants to make the world a better place.

Pastor Vicki Ehret, one of the volunteers from Atlantic South East District (ASE) came in April as part of her TRIM program (Training in Ministry). She was required to keep a journal of her experience and I asked her permission to share it here as it gives an interesting picture of what a typical (if there is such a thing) week might be like.
I hope you enjoy it. more...

We have celebrated 1 year in Chalmette as of the first Sunday in March.  It has been a great year...
You may notice that even though it is now May 1st, this article is dated March 28th.  It had actually been written (twice) back in March.  I absent- mindedly hit the "delete" button instead of "enter" the first time! Then I switched to a new computer and had to download all my files onto it before I could add any pictures. So, for those of you who have been looking for some news, I apologize for the delay and thank you for your patience. As always, I hope to add more soon. :)

We are coming up on our 1st year anniversary...this morning George, who is a local shrimper and oysterman, dropped off a spare bag of oysters for us at our trailer...John says, “In Wisconsin terms, it ranks right up there with someone knowing you like venison and stopping by to drop off a stick of venison sausage!”  He is shucking them even as I type.  He will bread them and fry them up for the volunteers as an appetizer before supper.  Now that is the way to be welcomed to Lousiana!  Yu’all come down now, you hear? more...

We heard recently that if the parish was able to rehab 1 house a day it would still take 74 years to redo all the houses that had been damaged by Katrina! more...
