In the aftermath of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, the latter of which moved into South Georgia as a tropical storm Sept. 11, we asked readers, parishes and schools to share photographs and stories of their efforts to help locals impacted. Shown are a sampling ofphotographs submitted from Catholics throughout the diocese. Thank you to all who submitted content.
