Living at Sacred Heart Parish we see and hear how people get involved in worship for the Sunday Masses. Everyday we hear a choir practice from different groups, the children, youth, or adults. Choir practices is very important, they usually last a few hours and so do the Masses.

Last Sunday we attended Mass in the Bishop’s chapel and a new choir was introduced, the first ever men’s chorale. After Mass, the Bishop invited the members of the choir, their sponsors, families and us to his house for a reception.

Claire and Gail are two young adults we met three weeks ago at St. Michael’s parish. Sunday we met them again and they expressed a desire to come and pray with us when we move into our new home. Even though where we are presently live our hosts are very gracious, we still cannot wait to have our own Felician home.

Our new teacher is Jacques Africot. He is married and has one daughter. Jacques is the director of an orphanage near Jacmel where there are 12 children. He says he has 13 children God has given him to take care of. He comes to us by taxi, this means by motorcycle, five days a week. We feel like little children back in school reading simple primary books and stories. This is a very good way to keep learning new words. “Unless you become like little children…”
