The Legacy of SOAR

Soar01
St. Rose de Lima Church today celebrated a beautiful Mass in honor of all the volunteers who have assisted in the Katrina rescue and recovery efforts.

Volunteers returned “home” from California, Colorado, Washington DC, New York, Idaho and other areas to join in the closure of the organization that has provided the life blood of love to the community since August of 2005.

The mass included a beautiful dance by the Handmaidens interpretive dance team of the parish.

Following the Mass there was a celebration continental breakfast in honor of all the volunteers in the Holy Spirit Center.

Brief inspirational messages of thanks were given by Margaret Taylor, wife of Senator Gene Taylor, David Barria Mississippi State Representative and Les Fillingame Bay St. Louis Mayor.

The room was filled with laughter, lots of story telling and hugs for everyone.  Thank you Father Sebastian and SOAR for the legacy of love to Bay St. Louis.
