Catholic Social Services of Houma-Thibodaux, LA (Updated Oct. 26) Catholic Social Services has been aiding victims from both Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Catholic Social Services' Hurricane Katrina response began the day after the storm and included supplying the shelters with emergency shelter kits (kept permanently in storage at CSS for immediate availability with such things as first aid kits, flashlights, diapers, crayons, hygiene products, etc), blankets, towels, and other basic necessities. Catholic Social Services took over a shelter for New Orleans police officers and their families at the request of the local government. Two Catholic parishes operated additional shelters.
In cooperation with Operation Starfish, a program created by the diocesan Vocations Office, CSS has coordinated and paid for travel for over 1,500 people flying or being driven to relatives around the country from local shelters....The list is quite long, but you get the idea...
Nope, no news here, folks, just move along...
