 "We stand ready to do even greater work in the mission that our Lord puts before us. This year we will address concerns that are timely and connected to our community. And this year, we will answer boldly God's call to freedom from enslavement to fear, scarcity and self-indulgence and embrace the gifts of hope, abundance and love of all those whom God has made." 
The Bishop's Annual Mission Appeal is this Sunday, May 20; and this year BAMA funds will be equally divided among the following ministries:
- The rebuilding of St. Matthew's, Houma as it recovers from a fire that destroyed the historic church building in 2010;
- Outreach to international groups and people in need, through our own Partners in Mission;
- A financial reserve for unforeseen disasters and events throughout the year.
Visit the BAMA page on the EDOLA website to learn more about this years recipients.

| Jericho Road Housing Benefits From Workshop
Home accents industry donates product & manpower to Saratoga Square
During the May 2012 home accent industry conference sponsored by Accessories Resource Team (ART™) May 17-20, 2012, ART is partnering with Jericho Road Episcopal Housing Initiative to donate, install and contribute "manpower" to four (4) new construction houses in the Saratoga Square development in Faubourg Lafayette, New Orleans.
Part of the 2012 ART Conference includes a day to "Give Back to New Orleans". Here are the details about that day: - The focus of this day of "giving back" are new homes being built on South Saratoga Street as part of the Saratoga Square development in the Faubourg Lafayette neighborhood of Central City, New Orleans. As is the norm for Jericho Road's homes, all construction will utilize traditional New Orleans architectural style, green building practices and universal design elements.
- The ART Conference project involves 4 new construction homes.
- Each house has been assigned a design coordinator. The coordinator is responsible for the design aesthetic. The designer will coordinate and ART will provide furnishings for at least the living area of each home.
- ART designers have also coordinated the donation of all lighting fixtures, ceiling fans, smoke detectors and some paint as well on all four homes.
- ART participants will be on the work sites for a volunteer day May 18 - installing new furnishings, painting and cleaning home interior, planting trees and installing mailboxes and flags throughout Saratoga Square and putting together container plantings for the front exterior of each of the four new homes.
- Hike for Katreena donating trees
- Master Gardener, Calla Victoria, donating expertise and leadership in planning and on site direction for container plantings
