Duchesne House for Volunteers

Duchesne House for Volunteers The Duchesne House is a volunteer housing organization run by the Society of the Sacred Heart.

Volunteers ( High school through college and college alums) come from all over the country to stay with the Duchesne Community for a week long service trip. During their stay they work at different organizations around the city rebuilding houses or working the lingering damage both social and economic resulting from hurricane damage. Through the "reality/hope tour," service projects, daily reflec

tions, meal sharing, evening presenters (local residents), and Katrina related discussions (racial, socio-economic, cultural and environmental) students experience a more cultural and spiritual immersion than they would with another service trip.

One of the nice things about Duchesne house for volunteers was living on Bayou road. It is likely that the Rebecca dropped Philippine and companions at the city's back door and they made their way down to the Ursuline convent via this road.
