Hands Across the Coast – Hurricane Katrina Commemoration
We met on the beach in front of the St. Patrick's church property (452 W. Beach Blvd., Long Beach) at 2:30 pm Sunday, August 27 to join with others up and down the Coast for 2 minutes of silence. The Rector of The Church of the Redeemer, The Rev. Harold Roberts, came up with this idea for a commemoration on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

Prayer for St. Patrick’s

O Lord God of Israel, the heavens cannot contain you,
yet you are pleased to dwell in the midst of your people,
and have moved us to set apart a space on which to rebuild a house of prayer:
Send us your Spirit,
that we may learn what you would have us do,
and the words and witness you would have us offer.
Guide us as we continue your work;
show us the field in which to plant,
that your Kingdom may come and your power be revealed in this community;
to the glory of your Name.
Amen.
