Vigil for Peace:
Tuesdays & Thursdays
11:00 am – 12 noon
Mondays & Thursdays
6:00 – 8:00 pm
Your degree of participation in silent prayer is up to you. You are welcome to participate once or twice a week, once or twice a month, or somewhere in between. You could spend 20 or 30 minutes or an hour. Create whatever schedule works for you, while considering that the key is commitment to the cause of peace and an end to violence. Let us all reflect on the fact that only through commitment and sacrifice are the most worthwhile things in life accomplished.

Life in Medor, Haiti…
Did you know? In Haiti 54% live on less than $1.00/day (defined as abject poverty), 78% live on less than $2.00/day, one in eight children die before the age of 1 year due to unclean water and improper sanitation, 2% of Haiti’s trees survive, there is 80% unemployment, 65% of Haitian children go to elementary school and of these only 60% finish 6th grade, only 20% go to secondary school. Food prices have doubled in the last year. Please keep the people of Haiti in your prayers!
