Our mission is to assist communities in their recovery efforts following devastating damage from hurricanes and natural disasters such as Ike and Katrina.  We do so by organizing and sending multiple delegations to hard-hit regions – serving with their time, talent, and treasure.

Working under the auspices and guidance of local area programs, St. Francis delegates assist in the cleaning and rebuilding of affected homes, usually working side by side with the homeowners so that they can eventually return to their homes and neighborhoods. 

The Disaster Recovery Ministry completed a successful delegation to Galveston, Texas in March 2009 with sixteen participants who worked on six different homes of Hurricane Ike victims.  To read about this wonderful experience and about the folks that we served, please check out this link:  tinyurl.com/mytzk2. 

The next delegation is returning to New Orleans, where we continue in the rebuilding efforts in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, is scheduled for October 2010.
