St. Genevieve Church Wall Collapses During Earthquake
Fr. Frixner at St. Genevieve in Zoranje said no one was killed there, but some people who were in Port-au-Prince on visits died during the earthquake. Some homes in the rural community of Zoranje, (click here to see map) which is north of the capital, were destroyed. The back part of the church has collapsed making the remainder of the church unsafe and the entire building will have to come down. The pictures above shows what the church looked like before the earthquake. The rectory that was recently build in 2005-2006 is alright.
People who don't live in Zoranje are coming into the community to seek help, according to Frixner. The community needs food and medical supplies for its clinic. The road down the mountain to the main highway leading to Port-au-Prince is open, he said.
So far St. Patrick – St. Anthony has raised $56,700 to help in the relief efforts. $4,700 was raised for Catholic Relief Services and the remainder will go to help Haitian Ministries in their relief efforts with the various projects (see below for updates on those projects). Money will also be sent to St. Genevieve to assist in their relief efforts as well. The $56,700 does not include the $10,000 that St. Patrick – St. Anthony already pledged.
Please continue to pray for our sisters and brothers in Haiti.
