Today we met with Fr. Gaston, the pastor of St. Yves parish. It is the youngest and poorest parish in the Diocese of Jacmel. We surprised Fr. Gaston with two gifts, a chasuble and stole that was given in memory of a mother by her family, and a box of hosts. St. Yves has four missions in the mountains. You may remember one of our past blogs that we spoke about St. Yves and how the community worships in a tent. We hope to continue our relationship with Fr. Gaston and St. Yves and support them in any way we can.

I am seeing this on the feast of Our Lady of Hope. Here is a concrete gesture giving hope to those in need. May St. Yves Parish and all the people of Haiti be blessed with HOPE today. Congratulations and God’s Blessings. S MaryAnne
