The House of the Lord - The Poor Friars and recovery from Hurricane Ida.

On August 29, 2021, Hurricane Ida tore through the Southern Louisiana, destroying almost everything in it's path. Fr. Antonio recounts the Poor Friar's and Poor Nun's experience of helping the Catholic Parish of the Holy Family Church and the people of Dulac (with the help of Divine Providence) through their immediate disaster relief, short-term housing needs and even long-term housing needs.
Following Fr. Mitch Pacwa's (of EWTN) visit to Dulac during the early devastation recovery, he encouraged and directed Seth Farmer and Ragan Wells of Uriel Media Productions to film the Poor Friars and Nuns "at work". The following film is the fruit of over four visits to the community as they gracefully captured both the challenges and blessings that face the people of Grand Caillou, but also the Charism of the Poor Friars and Nuns ( poorfriars.org/ ).

I'm not a Catholic or even a Christian, but your order is making the love of God accessible to the world, and I think that's beautiful.

Todo católico que ayuda al otro siente felicidad y esa es nuestra misión.

We would love to. As we are a new community, the numbers of members able to do so (fully formed and also fluent in the English language) are limited. Please pray that the Lord send more workers into his "Poor Friar" vineyard!
