"Finally a word from our nuns in Covington. . ."

Late word from Fr John Michael's weblog recounting the southern provinces Katrina ordeal:

Finally a word from our nuns in Covington. The report that had gone out over some wire service that riotous bands were attacking supplies into the area was greatly exaggerated. The prioress is able to call out now sporadically on her cell phone as services are slowly being restored north of the lake. She told our Father Provincial they are all well, and invited our friars back. New Orleans’ Notre Dame seminary is planning to set up headquarters for this semester at St. Joseph’s abbey Retreat House in Covington.
