Prayers

Pray for those in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama, as they recover from Katrina. We have friends in the area, and our thoughts and prayers are with them. Pray especially for Fr. K who stayed behind near the Mississippi coast to be with his parishioners. I have seen the footage on the news, and the coast of Mississippi is devastated, especially in Gulfport and Biloxi, which are about 5-10 miles east of where his church is located. Contacting him or his family now is difficult if not impossible since all phone lines and mobile communication is down in that area. If I hear anything, I’ll pass it on. Pray too for the poor in these areas. They have literarily lost everything.

As I was typing this entry, Mitch informed me (through Fr. Jeff) that the K family is fine. Fr. K apparently evacuated with the last group of parishioners. Thank God! It remains unconfirmed, but Fr. K's church was likely lost to the storm surge.
