We have withstood fires and hurricanes over the years and still survive because of the resilience of our people. The unnamed hurricane of 1947 impacted our community and its memory is still vivid in the older generation. Hurricane Camille visited us in 1969 with winds over 200 miles per hour. Gradually, we rebuilt our lives and community in its aftermath. Our latest visitor was Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005. Her fury lashed at our shores and our lives and brought our community to its knees. Waves of 30 feet washed away most of our buildings, our belongings and some of our lives.

Following Hurricane Katrina, we continue to rise from its ashes of devastation with the help of thousands of volunteers from around the country who came to bring us their labors, their gifts, the skills, their time and their blessings. Their presence and support allowed us to continue to believe in the goodness of humanity and in our determination to rebuild our lives and our community. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to them!
