Bishop Burbidge Issues Statement on the Impact of Hurricane Ian Brothers and Sisters in Christ, As Hurricane Ian continues up the East Coast of the United States, further jeopardizing the safety and health of residents in those communities, I ask you to please pray that the Holy Spirit gives those in its path strength and peace in this difficult time. In addition to the tragic loss of life that continues to increase, please also pray for those who have lost their homes, businesses, and other property because of the high winds and heavy flooding. For those who have lost their lives from the devastating effects of Hurricane Ian, may God grant them eternal life and give comfort to their families. In the coming days, we will coordinate opportunities for you to offer financial contributions to those in need because of this natural disaster. Be assured of my prayers for you and your family now, and always.

UNSETTLING NEWS FROM MEDOR: Father Frantz, pastor of St. Joseph parish, let us know that the insecurity in Haiti has affected the people of Medor. Recently gangs looted the Gonaives warehouses of both the World Food Program and Food for the Poor. Food for the lunches for Medor’s primary school and four chapel schools was stored in those warehouses. The food that the students in those five schools depended on through the end of the school year is now gone. Father Frantz is waiting to learn if it may be possible for the World Food Program or Food for the Poor to provide food at a later date. Another sad piece of news is that the place that was storing Medor’s school supplies until they could be transported up the mountain was also looted. Many of this year’s school supplies are now gone. Please pray for peace and security in Haiti as the people there suffer during this very challenging time.
