Auburnites donate 200 pairs of shoes

Father Steve Williams of McGill Catholic School in Mobile spent many hours after Katrina seeking to aid people along Mobile Bay who had suffered such incredible damage from the storm surge. Many of them had lost everything. Later he shared his experience with a colleague, Father Todd Kreitinger, who serves at a Catholic Church in Auburn...a congregation made up primarily of Auburn students.

When Kreitinger asked Williams what his congregation in Auburn might do to help, Williams told his friend that the victims of Katrina in Mobile County desperately needed clothes...especially shoes.

Father Kreitinger shared this story with his congregation at a Mass and when he had concluded his message almost 200 people in the congregation walked up to the altar, took off their shoes and walked back to their dorms, frat houses and homes barefooted.

It really is.

Sidenote - Father Todd was one of my favorite priest to listen to while I was at mass and going through RCIA.
