Post-Helene, church in North Carolina vows ‘we’re not going anywhere’

NEW YORK – A week after the remnants of Hurricane Helene swept through the western part of North Carolina, Monsignor Patrick Winslow said everyone leading the Diocese of Charlotte’s response and recovery efforts are still trying to understand the full extent of the damage.

Winslow, the diocese’s chancellor and vicar general, said that every day that communication capabilities are restored, more information and images trickle in about families whose homes were destroyed or people in a particular region who are in need.
