For we are God’s co-workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

In the wake of Hurricane Melissa, our priests, sisters, brothers, and volunteers have faced the same devastation as the communities they serve — rectories, convents, and churches damaged or destroyed, most still without power, water, or internet.

Yet, true to their vocation, they remain beside their people. In Seaford Town, for example, Fr. Morris chose to stay, living from his vehicle so he could continue ministering to those most affected, even helping with emergency helicopter deliveries from Samaritan’s Purse when roads were impassable.
