Last night, December 7, ministers and faith leaders from Muslim, Catholic, Jewish, Baptist, Buddhist, Baha’i, Unitarian Universal, and Episcopal traditions gathered together in memorial of the 48 homeless individuals who died on the streets of New Orleans over the past year. As the names of those identified were read and those that were unidentified remembered by the locations they were found, a candle was lit and placed at the alter in tribute as readings and songs were done in Hebrew, Arabic, Spanish, and English in universal mourning. David Johnson, a former HTC guest, spoke of his own experiences on the street, and spoke very poignantly about making sure those that passed away are not forgotten. Thank you to all who attended in order to honor those lost. The HTC was proud to be a sponsor for the service and would like to thank all those who attended and were involved.
