"Thank you for coming, volunteers are so good to have," he said to the crew.
The crew is made up of 11 members representing the Rochester, Minn., churches: St. Pious X, St. John the Evangelist, and St. Francis of Assisi. "Every day is different," said Ann Freund, one of the volunteers. Freund said the team has done cleanup in Bay St. Louis, helped a family whose home was destroyed by flooding and worked at a Boy Scouts Camp setting up housing for future volunteers.
