NEWS FROM MEDOR, HAITI: Through our twinning relationship with St. Joseph of Medor Parish, we witness faith, knowledge, and community transforming lives. François Pierre, a member of the parish’s agroforestry program, is a farmer, husband, and father of four whose life has been strengthened through the seeds, both literal and spiritual, planted by this work. With training as a veterinary technician and support from the program, François cares for his livestock, grows crops, and now shares his knowledge with others, helping improve the animal health and livelihoods of the entire community. The animals he raises allow him to provide for his family and educate his children, including a son studying agronomy at the university level. François states that the agroforestry program provides not only resources, but also the tools and knowledge to build a better future. Medor’s agroforestry program is a sign of hope, an expression of Christ’s call to care for one another. Thank you for your love for our Medor family. Please pray for peace and security in Haiti.
