A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words

The old saying is true "A picture's worth a thousand words".  With that in mind, we thought we'd share a few of our picture's on the progress being made in Joplin.  None of this work would have been possible without the generous donations of time, talent, and treasure that poured in from across the country.  Thank you for your gifts, prayers, and continued support for our neighbors in need.

Immediately after the devastating F5 tornado hit Joplin on May 22, 2011, there was a tremendous outpouring of support from all over the country.  It truly is inspiring to see so many come to the aid of others.  The caring response has touched the hearts of many, including Maura Taylor, Executive Director of Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri, who said "I was reminded of 'the good Samaritan' who did not turn his face away from those in need." 

Gabe Tischler, Disaster Coordinator for Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri was recently in Baton Rouge, LA for a disaster preparedness seminar.  During the seminar, he explained how faith spurs action after the devastating F5 tornado struck Joplin, Missouri last May.  To learn more about what he was talking about, please click on the link below to read an article written by Mark H.
