Father Donald Baker is really impressed by how young Catholics have really stepped up to help those affected the most by Hurricane Sandy.

"The 'millennials,' those young people in the neighborhood who are in their 20s -- who've become adults since the millennium -- have been outstanding -- absolutely incredible," said the 52-year-old pastor of St. Teresa Church in New York City's gritty Lower East Side.

"They truly embodied the charity of Christ. I turn around and there are another dozen eager and willing to help our community," he added.
