Saint Augustine Church was not the only one that went through hardships during and after a storm/hurricane. Just now, in fact, the Barataria Baptist Church finished reconstructing its sanctuary after Isaac struck New Orleans. They held their first Sunday service on the church grounds since the storm. Even though the sanctuary is still empty, the sense of community was still there as people walked in carrying their own chairs to go to service. This shows the spirit of New Orleans and how people here are not the type to give up but instead help each other out and stick together despite the threat of a storm or hurricane, and how they overcome these events together. Barataria Baptist Church is just another example of how religious community and spirit are a major role in New Orleans and how they will continue to be despite any challenges that face the people living here.
