Be sure to wait a few seconds for video to start.

On Wednesday, March 9, Sisters Inga and Marilyn met with Michlet (engineer) and Fr. Bertrand at the bakery site for an update on the construction. We walked through all the buildings, looking where electricity, pipes, toilets and sinks will be placed and needed, as well as areas for placement of windows, etc. It was a good meeting, and it seems the construction of buildings being finished by June will be a reality. If God wills…si Bondye vle!

March 3-6, the Felician Mission welcomed 30 people in the first community in Neocatechumenal Way from St. Michael’s Parish. We welcomed the holy season of Lent with reconciliation, prayer and the Celebration of the Eucharist. We are called to put on Christ as we seek to live His Word from Philippians 2:1-5.

“So if in Christ there is anything that will move you, any incentive in love, any fellowship in the Spirit, any warmth or sympathy — I appeal to you,

2:2  make my joy complete by being of a single mind, one in love, one in heart and one in mind.

2:3  Nothing is to be done out of jealousy or vanity; instead, out of humility of mind, everyone should give preference to others,

2:4  everyone pursuing not selfish interests but those of others.

2:5 Make your own the mind of Christ Jesus…”

Sr. Izzy and Rosemarie are working together to give Mary a new refreshing look!

On Sunday, February 27, our faith community went to see the construction site for the new Felician Bakery. It is an amazing grace to see work being done during such difficult times in the country. God has a plan and wants us to give bread to His people.

On Saturday, February 26, seven young men from the Diocese of Jacmel were ordained transitional Deacons. The priests and choir gathered here in the Felician Mission for the procession. After Mass, many gathered here for the reception.

On Friday, February 25, Sr. Inga (Director of Faith Formation for Mission Haiti) and Sr. Julitta met with the children, ages 5-7, for their first faith formation class. Sr. Julitta will be assisted by Janika, one of our teens.

On Friday, February 25, over 80 children were waiting at our door for movie night!

The gate opened at 4 p.m., and our youth group who assist us were ready. The children come in 2 by 2 and are taken to a seat. It is almost like a movie theatre. Popcorn and chocolate were prepared, and there was clean water to drink!

It was a lot of popcorn and chocolate today!!!!!
