In the Summer of 2016, the long awaited Diocesan-wide Habitat For Humanity Build Project in Mandeville, LA took place. This project was carried out in memory of Protopresbyter Michael Rosco who, working with IOCC relief teams, co-ordinated 3 mission teams to travel to Louisiana and serve the residents there with the help of Habitat for Humanity in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. It was through his initial efforts that the diocese saw an increased awareness and participation in hands-on mission work. The project was spearheaded by Fr. Michael's former parish, St. John The Baptist of Perth Amboy, NJ who partnered with International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) , the National ACRY and countless faithful of Diocesan Parishes, and other generous individuals.
