Archdiocese of New Orleans
Hurricane Response | Hurricane Ida 2021

“For decades, the Archdiocese of New Orleans has relied on the Sulzer Group as a trusted partner through multiple major disasters impacting our churches, schools, and facilities across the region. The scale of our organization and the complexity of disaster recovery require more than short-term assistance. They require steady guidance from professionals who understand the full process from grant management and compliance to construction oversight and long-term recovery planning.”
—Father Patrick, Vicar of Finance, Archdiocese of New Orleans
“The Archdiocese of New Orleans sustained substantial damage to the majority of our structures as a result of wind and flooding associated with Hurricane Katrina. As you can imagine, controlling the many projects that were, and still are going on throughout our diocese, was an unmanageable task for our building office. The Sulzer Group was our sole source for assistance with grant management closeout and support during an audit conducted by the Office of Inspector General.

The Sulzer Group has been, and continues to be, an extremely valuable asset as we get closer to finishing our FEMA projects and begin to ramp up the closeout process. I am very comfortable saying that they are professional, knowledgeable and will work with a dogged persistence to make sure that their applicants receive every penny of assistance that they are due. The Sulzer Group is one of the big reasons that our recovery has been as successful as it has been.”
