Hurricane Ida in Louisiana
St. Hubert Catholic Church in Garyville shared an unbelievable photo of a Statue of Mary in perfect condition following Hurricane Ida.
On August 29th the Category 4 storm hit Louisiana, leaving millions without power and some without water and fuel. The church published the photo a few days late thanking Our Lady for her protection from the storm. Here’s the post and the photo:
“In the midst of tree damage, Our Lady stood as protection for our village of Garyville. Not a branch touched her as they fell all around her. Thank you Mother Mary for interceding for us”
