First Row Center: Rose Culver's daughter Jen and a group of friends gave up their spring break at the University of Utah and went to New Orleans to help out. They helped gutting out several homes, and served meals in a soup kitchen. Father Ean and St. Anthony's of Padua offered them a place to stay in the St. Bernard Parrish . This certainly was a life changing experience for all of them...as well as the Katrina victims.
