Does anybody know the condition of Saint Patrick’s church in the Latin Quarter of New Orleans? It is one of the most beautiful Catholic churches in North America, built by the designer of Washington. D.C. Its recently deceased pastor, Msgr. Joseph Reynolds, a truly remarkable pastor, was a great friend of mine–and a million other people. He hosted my son and me at a Super Bowl in New Orleans a decade or so ago. Is the church still ok?

And also Jesuit High School in New Orleans? Did the school escape? I have dear friends on the faculty that I am worried sick about. Would love to hear.
