Message from Haiti

We are pleased to share this message of thanks from Fr. Mehu Charles Joseph, CSC of the Parish of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, Planton, Les Gonaives, Haiti:
 
Msgr. Gervasio;
 

As we are still in Easter season...so may God shine on you the light of the risen Christ in order to continue being a witness of this light among his people!

 
I use these words to address you and all the faithful of Our Lady of Sorrows-St Anthony in order to express my greetings in Jesus Christ who makes us brothers and sisters but also calls us to take care of one another, particularly the most vulnerable.
 
Msgr. Gervasio, at the end of January 2019, I wrote to you to share my concerns about the physical state of the Mary Immaculate School of Platon. I asked you to see how the parish could financially support the project of restoration of this School through the fundraising campaign, which has been organized each year during Lent. I am aware that many people have worked diligently to make this project successful. For this I am so grateful to all parishioners. We express our thanks to the Social Concerns committee.
 
Msgr. Gervasio, I write you to inform you that I received the check with the amount of $ 16,000 US. Therefore, I would like to give thanks to God for the momentum of solidarity that he has infused into the hearts of the parishioners of OLS-SA. I thank them for their generosity and for their substantial help to the restoration of the school. Through your generous support, the students will have a better environment to learn and to study adequately. I assure you that your contributions will be well spent, and I will keep you posted during the process of the restoration. The students and the staff members send their greetings to all of you along with many thanks. They also assure you of their prayers. May God bless all of you and give you peace all the time!
 
Union of prayer and mission! We are one in Christ!
