NEWS FROM MEDOR: Our twin parish, St. Joseph in Medor, Haiti, continues to show the power of faith, community, and cooperation. During the first half of 2026, farmers participating in the parish's agroforestry program organized 44 kombits, traditional community work parties, far surpassing the year's goal of 28. Together, neighbors joined hands to plant trees, care for tree nurseries, establish forest gardens, conserve the soil, and restore God's creation. This beautiful tradition of working together reflects the Christian call to serve one another and demonstrates how unity can transform both lives and the land. We thank the dedicated farmers of Medor, the Smallholder Farmers Alliance for implementing this inspiring program, and the parishioners of Our Lady Queen of Peace whose generosity makes this work possible. Please continue to pray for peace and security in Haiti and for an end to gang violence.
