Another opportunity to help Haiti

From Mar. 1-22, there will be a trailer set up at St. Paul et les Martyrs d’Haiti, 6744 N. Miami Ave., Miami, for collection of supplies for Haiti. Fr. Smith Milien, priest-in-charge of St. Paul’s, is requesting medical and hygiene supplies, towels, toys and non-perishable (preferably ready-to-eat) food—but NO clothing.

On Mar. 20 at 5 p.m., there will be a Eucharist (celebrated in French and Creole) at St. Paul’s to pray for the people of Haiti and to bless the trailer before it is shipped. Everyone in the diocese is invited.
