Progress in Haiti - Ralph reports
Making Progress in Haiti
Good afternoon, I’m Ralph.I’m here to speak about what this community is doing in Haiti. And you are doing some good stuff. When I was there last September, I saw the progress you are making. I saw the difference you are making in the lives of the villagers in Boileau, Haiti. Also, the Bishop at Les Cays took time out of his schedule to meet with us, as your ambassadors, so he could express his appreciation for your help. read more »

on my three trips to Haiti. read more »
Don't Forget Us...
Pilgrim
This past February I was fortunate enough to share a trip to Haiti with several
members of our parish. Since this was the second trip I had taken to Haiti,
I felt prepared for what I might experience. What I found, however, is that
God has a way of opening our eyes to things He wants you to see. read more »
Korem: A word with no meaning, that means so much
Pilgrim
This past February a group from St. Philip’s set off for the fourth
pilgrimage to Haiti. As in past years we visited several operations that
are helping the poorest of the poor. At each orphanage and school there
was one thing consistent among the people we met –they were eager
to communicate with us, though few spoke any English. The children sang read more »
God is Full of Suprises!
Pilgrim
Give alms from what you have and look, everything will be clean for
you. Luke 11:41
We get things backwards quite often, in our good intentions, in our security,
in our way of life. We hear the admonition to give of ourselves, give our
10% tithe, perform our works of mercy and our acts of charity. We listen
to the Gospel (you know, the one so often read on Christ the King Sunday
just before the Advent shopping season begins and we get in the Christmas
spirit through buying things we don’t need and eating food that makes
our clothes too tight) about the sheep and the goats and feeding Christ
whom we find in the hungry and the homeless read more »
