On November 3rd, staff and volunteers of the Rebuild Center attended a special retreat led by Sr. Judy Gomila, a Marianite of Holy Cross sister who actually knew Father Harry Tompson as a teenager when they debated against each other for their high schools. (She said he usually won all his debates!) Sr. Judy  reminded us that while we offer works of charity to our guests, it’s also important to seek justice for them. Our souls were uplifted as we shared stories of patience, love, thanksgiving and hope. The retreat and Sr. Judy’s wonderful insights and presence refreshed our spirits and our drive to continue serving those experiencing homelessness in New Orleans.
