 Joan Martin : The Haiti Project

OUR MISSION STATEMENT: As disciples of Jesus we are called to love and to care for one another. We accept our call to reach out to all God's people, especially to those in need, so that the reign of God may be realized in our community, in our nation and in our world.

As participants in the Haiti Project, we embrace our responsibility to walk in solidarity with members of other communities in uniting our lives with those in the poorest nation of the western hemisphere.

Our mission is to provide spiritual, financial and missionary support, focusing on specific projects that enrich the quality of life for small groups in targeted communities. Working collaboratively, we seek to foster sustainability and self determination among the People of Haiti and together image God's love, compassion, mercy, and justice to each other.

Dear Fr. Greg,
I hope all is well at St. Andrew.

These are photos of one of the projects that St. Andrew assisted.

With your parish`s help, Fr. Prophy was able to put the roof on the two new classrooms at the elementary school for Notre Dame du Lourdes school.

Thanks to you!

We wish you a peaceful Advent Season.

Sincerely,
Joan Martin

Joan Martin's letter to Fr. Greg

Dear Fr. Greg,

I have just returned from two weeks of travelling in our
diocese---mostly by motorcycle, sometimes by sailboat, not
much in a vehicle.  I was able to visit Sr. Enden and Sr. Hermie in TiRivye.

 

 

 

 



They were very happy to show me the new generator and the mixer and speakers and microphones that your parish helped them to buy.  Finding the money is one thing; finding the equipment and shipping everything is another.
Fortunately, everything has arrived in good shape.

 

 

 



The generator has not yet been hooked up; but they have
used the microphone, mixer, and speakers one time.  (No
they are not really singing on the front porch)

 

 

 

 

 


Again, thank you to you and St. Andrew Parish for all your
help in this very poor almost-parish in the diocese of
Port-de-Paix.

Joan Martin
