As of May 28 the Sacred Heart of
Jesus Disaster Response Team had made ten trips to Mena, the scene of a tornado on Holy Thursday evening. Five case managers were involved in making three trips to help tornado victims become aware of appropriate assistance for their individual needs. There were 23 clean- up crew members (several volunteered four times) who made seven trips to help remove trees and debris from St. Agnes Church grounds as well as the properties of parishioners identified by Father Norbert Rappold and his staff. In providing these services, team members volunteered more than 400 hours and drove approximately 3,000 miles.
