On January 2, we were blest to have the Mercidarian Sisters from Wout Lavale for an afternoon of prayer, food and sharing. January 1 and 2 are special holidays here in Haiti. The sisters are originally from the Dominican Republic. Their mission is a medical clinic, which they have run in the Diocese for 18 years. During the time we were quarantined this past March, April and May, the sisters were asked to return to their motherhouse in Santo Domingo. During their absence, the Mother Angela Clinic went to assist the sick people they normally served. Sister Madeline, who is Haitian, had helped us to make contacts in the Dominican Republic in order to purchase medications.
Since none of them drive, we needed to pick them up at their Mission, which is a half hour from Jacmel.

Hi Sisters,
The Sisters of the Divine Compassion here in the states received an email that a sister in Haiti was kidnapped and the want $500,000 to release her. I’m thinking the email is a scam. Have you heard anything about this? Little Sisters of St Therese.
My email is

I’m with a couple sisters now.
Thank you
