Our Lady of the Sea

Here is the lovely lady who watched over SW Louisiana during Hurricane Rita. No lives were lost. Miraculous indeed!

The church is gone, but the statue remains, looking out over the Gulf of Mexico.

She was erected in front of the Catholic Church in Cameron, Louisiana, shortly after Hurricane Audrey which claimed hundreds of lives. Every year a hurricane prayer has been said at this shrine by the parishioners of Our Lady of the Sea.

Our prayers never go unheard...unheeded...unanswered.

Again...here is a wonderful article: ( http://tinyurl.com/ahcda )
