New Orleans (Lake Catherine), Louisiana USA
[Roman Catholic]
The church, built in 1971, suffered major structural collapse from Hurricane Katrina (2005). The brick walls were washed away, leaving only the wooden frame standing. The beloved priest, Arthur 'Father Red' Ginart, was lost in the storm—the only storm death in Lake Catherine. A few artifacts from the church have been found, including two statues of Mary. The archdiocese closed the parish.More information
