Please keep us and our people in your prayers as we meet this storm!

After dark, we usually do not have visitors, but tonight there was a knock at the door. We were surprised to see Christella. You may remember the blog we wrote about her 9 months ago when she was missing. She looked very mature and grown up. She told us that she was in Port au Prince and is now returning to school in Jacmel. She did not want to share the details of what happened; she only said her aunt, with whom she had been living at the time, threw her out of the house. We are happy she looks okay and will be returning to school. However, we know that it has been a difficult 9 months and has not been an easy time for her. Please keep Christella in your prayers. 

On Monday, August 17, and Tuesday, August 18, we met with our fourth group of “Water Women” at St. Yves Parish in Monchil.  This is another place where the Mother Angela Clinic visits every other week. 

We had 20 women participate in the formation process, preparing them to be a part of the “Water with Blessing” project. This group seemed to be very well organized since we had the opportunity to collaborate with the Spiritan Sisters, who helped to invite the women and who also participated in the formation process as the women each received a filter and a bucket. It was a joy to have our four Felician Sisters–Margaret, Angela, Julitta and Rita–participate and help us with the two days of formation.

We thank all our benefactors who make possible this project of giving clean drinking water to the poor in our midst.

Our sisters who are participating in the Art of Accompaniment had the opportunity to visit our neighborhood. We needed to visit one family in particular that was in desperate need of having clean drinking water. We met with Madam Fani and her extended family and gave her a water filter and bucket. She now joins the many “Water Women” we have in the area, who are participating in “Water with Blessing.” 

Take a look at this short video…

On Sunday, August 9, we welcomed four of our Felician Sisters to Haiti: Sr. Margaret (Rome, Italy), Sr. Julitta (Krakow, Poland), Sr. Angela (Livonia, MI) and Sr. Rita (Livonia, MI). It is a joy to have our community and Felician presence grow in Haiti.
    
    
   

Every week, our children come for catechesis that always includes fun activities.
