In this article, we consider the intersection of religious coping and the experience of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in a lifespan sample of adults living in south Louisiana during the 2005 storms. Participants were young, middle-age, older, and oldest-old adults who were interviewed during the post-disaster recovery period. Qualitative analyses confirmed that three dimensions of religion were represented across participants' responses. These dimensions included: (1) faith community, in relation to the significant relief effort and involvement of area churches; (2) religious practices, in the sense of participants' behavioral responses to the storms, such as prayer; and (3) spiritual beliefs, referring to faith as a mechanism underlying individual and family-level adjustment, acceptance, and personal growth in the post-disaster period. Implications for future disaster preparedness are considered.
