As of this date, two years since the storm, we have heard nothing from the Archdiocese concerning FEMA, about insurance, our proposal which was made many months ago, or from Catholic Leadership Institute who promised to come back to us within 45 days of our meeting at St. John the Baptist Parish. It has been over 90 days, and even with Fr. Ray attempting to contact them, still no word. Again, we have been let down by the Archdiocese. But as strong people of God and of Des Allemands, we have not let their lack of interest in us, nor their lack of communication deter our mission. We are still having Mass, CCD, Monthly Rosary, Food For Seniors, Ladies Altar Society Meetings, A Family Day, Faith Gatherings at night and during the day weekly, and attempting to bring back Adoration. Let's stay St. Gertrude Strong! Pray for a decision to be made either way so we can move on!
