Haiti Mission
Trip: You have heard a lot about Haiti since the devastating quake last
January. Now we would like to offer you an opportunity to experience 1st
hand how the quake relief efforts are proceeding by joining us on our next
mission trip, January 24th-31st. You will meet the children, staff and
sisters at our sister school, Ecole Notre Dame L’Annonciation, and also the
ladies who live at the home in the Village of Jesus in Leogane. You will be
immersed into the lives and culture of beautiful people who are living in
hope & faith of a better tomorrow. You may wish to stay an additional week
(January 31st- February 7th) to work at the Missionaries of Charity
Nutrition/Wellness center where you will serve the sick and the hungry, the
deprived and the dying and enter more deeply into the lives of the poorest
of poor. We will be accepting reservations on a “first come, first serve”
basis for parishioners from now until September 1, 2010. After September
1st, the trip will be opened to others outside the parish who desire to
journey with us. If you are interested please contact Connie Pelner at
612-824-4438 or by email:

A
Prayer for the People of Haiti
Out of the depths we
cry to You, O God.
We cry to You for our
Haitian brothers and sisters.
We thank you for
upholding them in their suffering.
Give them continuing
strength and comfort.
Give us love and
courage to stand with them
and work with them
as they struggle for
justice and freedom.
Keep us committed to
the truth and empower us
with Your Spirit of
love:
A love that always
sees possibilities
for peace founded on
justice;
A love that seeks
justice,
and a love that
reaches out to all peoples
as Jesus taught us.
We trust in Your
continuing mercy as we bring to You
our own desire to be
in active solidarity
with our Haitian
brothers and sisters.
O Lespri Sen desann
sou nou; nou gen yon misyon
Pou Ayiti.
O Holy Spirit descend
on us; we have a mission for Haiti.
AMEN
