Missionpalooza Brings Help After Texas Wildfires

In September 2011, 1600 homes were destroyed in devastating wildfires throughout Bastrop County in Texas. Immediately after the fires, the Episcopal Diocese of Texas and Calvary Episcopal in Bastrop began to help the victims of the fire. This summer, Missionpalooza, EDOT's youth mission trip, helped dozens of homeowners recover.

 

Together with other faith traditions, the Episcopal Church formed a long term recovery committee which is now helping to rebuild homes throughout the area. In July, youth groups from 15 Episcopal churches across the Diocese of Texas came to lend a hand.
