Hurricane Harvey has finally moved east, thanks be to God. Please keep our sisters and brothers in Louisiana in prayer as they now face heavy and sustained rains. Prayers also continue for all those in Houston and the surrounding area, including our own parishioners, who have been displaced by the storm.

Others have expressed concern about the status of the Cathedral campus.
