Haiti Lenten Appeal
Medor Fact Sheet

Some of your donation dollars have been used to promote the Klorfasil water treatment program in Medor. In the month of December, Daniel, the Clean Water Coordinator, set up Klorfasil systems for 80 families. He and his assistant, Wilson, conduct a 3-hour class to teach participating families the importance of clean water, sanitation, and on how to use the Klorfasil system. They also conduct home visits and water testing to ensure participants are using the system correctly. The participating families report that they are very happy with Klorfasil and notice there are fewer illnesses related to unclean water. They are very thankful for the small co-payment since they could not afford much more. Sister Elita has begun selling the Klorfasil system at her clinic. This allows more people to benefit from clean water.Please keep the people of Haiti in your prayers!

Immigration Reform Postcards

Thank you to all who participated in our postcard campaign supporting Immigration Reform. We collected a total of 777 postcards! A delegation from the parish will be delivering the cards to the members of Congress on June 11. Immigration legislation passed through the Senate Judiciary Committee this week. It is slowly working its way through the House committee process. You can continue to show your support for immigration reform through additional letters and phone calls to your members of Congress.
