Holy Cross Project Update
Oct. 16,2007: The Holy Cross project is a true touchstone of hope for a better future for New Orleans and this country. Having lived in New Orleans for most of my life, I fiercely love this city and its singular magic, and carry the pain of knowing that so many people and pieces of this incredible tapestry are now lost forever. From this brutal tragedy, though, a renewed city is slowly beginning to unfold, nurtured by its citizens, its government, and, now, its buildings. The Holy Cross Project is a visionary example of dreams made reality, of the collective passion and dedication of many talented people to provide something that people can see and touch and learn from and aspire to make a part of their lives. The people of New Orleans need this to help illuminate their struggle to save their home. But the peoples of the world need it just as much, to show that, from the ashes of tragedy can grow the seeds of a sustainable future for our planet.
-- Beth Galante, New Orleans Director
