AN INVITATION TO PRAYER Please join our Haiti Committee and the people of Medor in praying a “SOLIDARITY ROSARY”. Both parishes will say the rosary on the same date and time, praying for peace and security in Haiti as well as for each other’s intentions. Date: Monday, August 15 Time: 7:30 PM Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87543215589? pwd=c3RPL2JqUEFueS95NUVUTXJXNUs1UT09 Father Frantz, pastor of St. Joseph parish, says this event will strengthen the bond between our two parishes even more! NEWS FROM MEDOR Our Lady Queen of Peace Haiti Committee supports an agro-forestry program, run by the Smallholder Farmers Alliance, that empowered 2,400 farmers to plant nearly 80,000 trees in the Medor area in the first six months of 2022. The program pays farmers who plant and care for trees with items they need to increase their harvests and income: high quality crop seeds, agricultural hand tools, and training on improved farming techniques. The goal is to make living trees more valuable than those that are harvested for charcoal. The program aids the environment and addresses poverty, food insecurity and, since women participate equally, gender equality. We are grateful to SFA for implementing this important program in our twin parish. RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS (RCIA) Are you ready to take your next steps on your journey of faith?
