"You have to remember one thing when you drive through my city: behind every broken window...behind every boarded up empty house...There is a family trying to come home.” Wanda was one of the thousands of families left homeless or displaced following Hurricane Katrina. Five years later, some of these families are still trying to return home. The most destructive hurricane in U.S. history inspired a movement that brought thousands of volunteers from all over the world —taking leave from their jobs, their families— to work alongside families and communities desperately trying to return home. The new documentary, "Coming Home: Hurricane Katrina 5 Years Later," gives insight into the relationships between volunteers and hurricane survivors and includes stories of how they have touched each other’s lives.

Presented by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
It's Wednesday in Baltimore's Federal Hill neighborhood, and Father Mitch Rozanski, pastor of Holy Cross Parish, struggles up the five flights to the top of the church's steeple. The bells of the 150+ year-old church need to be fixed. Meanwhile, in St. Inigoes, on Maryland's southern shore, Fr. Patrick Smith, pastor of St. Peter Claver Parish, goes up the steps of a modest home on a rural lane. He is making a house call on an elderly, housebound parishioner. They will read Scripture together and sing hymns. Welcome to the world of the parish priest after Sunday Mass. Directed by Academy Award winner Gerardine Wurzburg, "Answering God's Call" brings viewers into a world where the mundane and the spiritual must work hand in hand. And with God's help they do a pretty good job of balancing it all!
