What does it take to rebuild New Orleans?
Partnership, patience and time.
As we remember the fifth anniversary of Katrina's landfall, and the failure of the levees in the city of New Orleans, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done.
Immediately after the storm destroyed New Orleans and the Central Gulf Coast, All Saints' and Messiah/St. Bartholomew from the Diocese of Chicago, partnered with the people of St. Luke's from the Diocese of Louisiana, to rebuild and get people back in their homes. Because of this work with the Office of Disaster Response through Episcopal Community Services in the Diocese of Louisiana, lives have been changed, relationships have been built, and homes are once again habitable.
This five-year partnership is captured in three short documentaries produced by the Hurricane Katrina Task Force, led by All Saints' Chicago in the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago.
The first part, "37.1," presents the story of a hurricane relief team that worked in New Orleans during Easter 2006.
