Sister Parish Updates

     To date we have raised $68,566.00, including the $10,000 in matching money.  We have already given Haitian Ministries $30,000 for food, water, shelter, and medical supplies and we have given $10,000 to St. Genevieve for relief aid. 
   On Thursday, March 18, 2010 Kyn Tolson from Haitian Ministries visited Zoranje with Sr Yannick.
   The front of the church was badly damaged and since the earthquake it has been determined that the church building itself is unsafe and will have to come down.  There are cracks throughout the building.  The school also recieved some minor damage.
    Currently, Fr Frixner is staying in a tent outside the rectory, while 8-10 women and children are living in the rectory.
    There is about 450 refugees in Zoranje who are also in need of food, water, clothes and medical supplies.  
    The Chapel in Mononville was also destroyed in the earthquake.  We are still waiting to hear about the other chapels and stations.
