The situation in Haiti remains unstable, violent and lawless, especially in and around the capital city, Port-au-Prince. Our Sister Parish, St. Genevieve and its school are located in Z’Orange, 16 miles north of the city.
But hopeful events are still happening amid this seeming chaos. The St. Genevieve School is open, and the students are taking their examinations. We’re going to share the results with you when Fr. Gaby is able to send them. The principal, teachers and staff remain faithful to their teaching mission, and have sent appreciation of the increased salaries our generous community support has provided them.
Also, our parish’s steadfast support is providing students a hot meal and allowing them to keep up with their education in a safe space to learn & study, even in this environment of dramatic food inflation and lack of availability.
Fr. Gaby reports that he is still a target of gang violence and so is unfortunately still unable to return to live with his parishioners.
The Sister Parish committee members are grateful for your continued prayers and donations for our Sister Parish as we all pray for the success of plans to establish an interim governing body that might lend stability, and bring an end to the gang violence in this beleaguered country.
