New Orleans
October 23, 2008
My participation on a FOCUS Mission Trip changed my life! I learned the importance of opening your heart, not only to others, but to Jesus. I also learned that during the mission, you are not there to only serve the poor and underprivileged of the area, but you’re there to serve the other missionaries on your trip, helping to bring them closer to Jesus.

Come participate in the ongoing Hurricane Katrina relief efforts as we work to rebuild the homes of those who lost everything! Working through the organization called Operation Helping Hands run by the Archdiocese of New Orleans we will help families get back on their feet as they continue to repair their lives from the catastrophic damage inflicted by the wrath of Mother Nature. Depending on the stage of re-construction, the group will be gutting, painting, reconstructing, or anything else needed in order to get the home back to a livable condition. This is your chance to serve our neighbors who lost so much and to bring vibrant Catholicism to the culture of the “Big Easy.”
Price includes: All food, lodging, and local transportation.
