On Monday January 30, Sisters Inga and Marilyn began a new journey to North Miami, Florida. The area is know as “Little Haiti.” “We were welcomed to St. James Parish by the pastor, Monsignor Chanel Jeanty. We do not know for how long, but we do know that it will be until we can return to Jacmel to the Felician Mission. We are already meeting and participating in activities with our Haitian brothers and sisters. The convent we live in is called Our Lady of Perpetual Help.”

On Monday, February 6, a pilgrimage statue of Our Lady of the Cape arrived at the parish Church. Mass and a candlelight procession filled the evening as many Haitians came to honor Our Lady.

The sewing school in the Felician Mission has started classes once again as the new month of February arrived. Junior Dessin who has worked closely with Sisters Izzy and Julitta is leading the classes while they are away from the mission. Weekly zoom meetings keep the classes updated and executed by Junior and his assistant, Shelda.
