Schools of the Sacred Heart - Grand Coteau Suffers Damage From Hurricane Gustav
Written by RSCJ.org Admin   
Thursday, 11 September 2008
In response to everyone’s concerns and in gratitude for your prayers which we hope will continue, what follows is a short account on the impact of Hurricane Gustav on the Schools of the Sacred Heart in rural Grand Coteau, Louisiana. On September 1, 2008, Hurricane Gustav descended upon Louisiana and left a trail of destruction across the state. It left hundreds of thousands without power after it toppled trees and knocked down power lines. While many breathed a sigh of relief when Gustav was downgraded, the power of a Category 1 storm is quite evident here on the grounds of Sacred Heart in Grand Coteau. We are grateful for the safety of our families and many were anxious to return after being out of class for one week.
