Katrina Damage in Mississippi
By Joseph F. Martin in Romeoville, Illinois, USA

My cousin from Bay City, Michigan, mailed me a clipping from the Saginaw
diocesan newspaper, "The Catholic Weekly." It is dated September 30. It
lists the Catholic parishes and schools in the Diocese of Biloxi,
Mississippi that were damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. This
might be helpful to family history researchers who now may have
difficulties securing documents.

They are: Long Beach: Saint Thomas the Apostle; D'Iberville: Sacred
Heart; Pass Christian/Pineville: Saint Paul, Our Mother of Mercy, Our
Lady of Lourdes; Bay Saint Louis: Our Lady of the Gulf, Saint Rose de
Lima; Waveland/Lakeshore: Saint Clare, Saint John Mission; Pascagoula:
Saint Peter the Apostle, Sacred Heart, Our Lady of Victories; Gautier:
Saint Mary's; Pearlington: Saint Joseph; Ocean Springs: Saint Alphonsus,
Saint Elizabeth Seton; Gulfport: Saint James, Saint Therese, Saint John
the Evangelist; Biloxi: Saint Michael, Saint John, Saint Louis, Our
Mother of Sorrows, Vietnamese Martyrs, and Nativity of the Blessed
Virgin Mary Cathedral.
