On YouTube

The Harry Tompson Center is just one of the many pieces that make up the Jesuit community here in New Orleans.  The Immaculate Conception Jesuit Church is the church that over sees many of the JV placements in New Orleans and they play a huge part in helping this city.  There is a JV at Cafe Reconcile, The Good Shepard School, and of course the HTC.  This past weekend Anne and i were invited to join Don and Emily at a Mass/lunch in set up to honor special people who have helped the Jesuits this year.  Each of the organizations under the Immaculate Conception Jesuit Church had one person they chose to honor.  Don had chosen one of his board members to thank him for all he had done this past year and years to come.  It was nice to see all of these organization come together and hear about their yearly accomplishments.  Anne and i also learned a valuable lesson about the Jesuits: never go to lunch with a Jesuit unless you have time to do what ever he is about to ask you to do.  Almost all of the people honored on Saturday had become involved in their respective organizations by way of a Jesuit friend asking them to lunch ;)

Another thing we learned was that Anne and I are on YouTube!  Well the Harry Tompson Center is and we have our shinning few second in the video.  The video is about the Immaculate Conception Jesuit Church, what they do for the community, and how they need "your help" (aka donations).  Its a very well done video!  Check it out! But don't think i am having you watch it to ask you to donate: I really just want you to see it because i am on YouTube. We are shown ar around 2 minutes in :)
