Southwest Louisiana bore the brunt of two major hurricanes in 2020, which made landfall just twelve miles & six weeks apart. Communities & buildings across the region were devastated, all in the early months of the Covid pandemic. Years later, repairs from the storm damage remain unfinished. Repairs to the church & a full rehabilitation to the convent are needed so they may be used to their full potential once again.
