REFLECTION ON MEDOR…In this weekend’s Gospel parable, Jesus encourages theperson who planted the fig tree to be patient. He promises that, though a person may not yet have yielded fruit, He will cultivate him, allowing him to flourish. Through OLQP’s partnership with our brothers and sisters in Medor, Haiti, and specifically through the agroforestry program, Medor farmers have revitalized deforested land, in alignment with Jesus’ parable. The farmers planted 202,600 tree seedlings on their plots and the eroded hillsides last year. These same farmers have planted close to 1.5 million trees since 2010, with an estimated survival rate of 67%. The farmers’ patience as trees grew over the past 15 years has provided necessary food, building materials, and cash crops for the community. Our support directly funds farmer trainings, tools, seeds, and land maintenance through the Haiti Easter Drive. Please prayerfully consider a donation this Easter season! QR code here.

ECO-TIP   from the Integrity of Creation Ministry: Care for God’s Creation is one of the seven themes of Catholic social teaching. From the US Conference of Catholic Bishops: “We show our respect for the Creator by our stewardship of creation. Care for the earth is not just an Earth Day slogan, it is a requirement of our faith. We are called to protect people and the planet, living our faith in relationship with all of God's creation.”
