Unbelievably after all of the Hurricane drama, it seems that almost everyone we know made it through with property and souls intact. Doreen, our friend in Mississippi, bore the worst of the damage. And our prayers and thoughts are with her. (Also the spare bedroom Doreen. Austin’s a lovely town) Fr JC’s church in Pt Arthur suffered some ceiling damage, so they are temporarily holding services sonewhere else within the facility. Fr Donahue and the Sisters seem to have not suffered too much property damage, allthough the hospital did take in water, and they’re having to dry it out. I think it begins operation this week. Bob and Mary in Pt Arthur had some roof and garden damage, but remained dry.
