Our nine Creighton University Students at the House of Charity have been busy this week! On Monday, they organized a new kitchen and multipurpose room at Hotel Hope, a shelter for women with children who are homeless. For the rest of this week, they are working with Lowernine, a nonprofit organization in New Orleans doing home renovations in the Lower Ninth Ward still affected by hurricanes Katrina and Ida. Other fun activities have included outings to the French Quarter, a streetcar ride down St. Charles Avenue, Beignets at City Park, a trip to see Lake Pontchartrain and participation in a Jazz Sunday liturgy at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church. We welcome our Creighton University Students and thank them for their generous service!
