Mark Goring nears his parish community centre and the mounds of trash come into view. Shards of plywood and plaster are stacked atop heaps of black trash bags bulging with soggy filth. Others who have lost everything come with broad smiles, praising the heavens in gratitude and displaying a depth of faith the 41-year-old priest isn’t even sure he could show. David Bergeron, got trapped in his truck on Interstate 610 as the storm struck. Bergeron travelled to Haiti after its mammoth earthquake, but Goring has never seen such a magnitude of loss before.
