¡Saludos del Padre Fayant y los feligreses de St. Rose of Lima y las capillas cercanas!

El Padre Fayant quería enviar a Risen Savior una actualización en video para compartir lo que está sucediendo en Gris Gris, pero no pudo hacerlo porque la torre de Internet y los servicios en la zona se redujeron debido a la escasez de combustible. Esperamos que pueda hacerlo en las próximas semanas, y lo compartiremos con ustedes cuando podamos.

Aquí hay algunos detalles que obtuvimos del P. Fayant:

1. La clínica médica móvil que se celebró en Boucan Beligie en enero fue un gran éxito; se atendieron entre 400 y 500 personas. El padre también pudo comprar medicamentos para la farmacia de St. Rose con los fondos que enviamos, y tiene los recursos para dos misiones médicas más: el 27 de febrero los médicos y las enfermeras visitarán la capilla de Pelagie, y en marzo tendrá clínica médica móvil en la capilla de Pereno.

2. En la capilla de LaBiche, donde han construido una nueva iglesia, celebraron la Fiesta de San Pablo, y tendrán una casa terminada para un sacerdote en los próximos meses.

3. En la casa de Saint Jude en Gris Gris (que atiende a los más pobres de los pobres), tenemos un cuidador que ayuda a proporcionar una comida al día a las seis personas que se quedan allí actualmente.

4. Risen Savior, junto con el Programa de Hermanamiento Parroquial y una subvención de alimentos del 100%, pudo comprar $ 4,000.00 en alimentos para St. Rose y las capillas.

5. Finalmente, la situación política en Haití sigue siendo muy peligrosa con los secuestros que ocurren. Por favor, mantenga al pueblo de Haití en sus oraciones.

Gracias por su continuo apoyo y oraciones por nuestra parroquia hermana, Santa Rosa de Lima. El Padre Fayant enviará más información cuando pueda.

Bendiciones para todos,

El Comité Parroquial de Hermanas del Risen Savior

Sister Parish Celebration February 27 & 28, 2021

Greetings from Father Fayant and the parishioners from St. Rose of Lima and the nearby chapels!

Father Fayant wanted to send Risen Savior a video update to share what is happening in Gris Gris, but he was unable to do this because the internet tower and  internet services in the area were down due to a shortage of fuel. We hope he will be able to do so in the coming weeks, and we’ll share that with you when we are able.

Here are a few details that we obtained from Fr. Fayant:

1. The medical mobile clinic that was held in Boucan Beligie in January was a huge success; between 400-500 people were served. Father was also able to purchase medications for the St. Rose pharmacy with the funds we sent, and he has the resources for two more medical missions. On Feb 27th. the doctors and the nurses will visit the chapel of Pelagie, and in March, he will have medical mobile clinic in the chapel of Pereno.

2.  In the chapel of LaBiche, where they have built a new church, they celebrated the Feast of St. Paul, and they will have a house completed for a priest in the next few months.

3. At the Saint Jude house in Gris Gris (serving the poorest of the poor), we have a caretaker who helps provide one meal a day for the six people who are currently staying there. 

4. Risen Savior, in conjunction with the Parish Twinning Program and a 100% matching food grant, was able to purchase $4,000.00 worth of food for St. Rose and the chapels.

5. Finally, the political situation in Haiti is still very dangerous with kidnappings occurring. Please keep the people of Haiti in your prayers.
Thank you for your continued support and prayers for our Sister Parish, St. Rose of Lima. Father Fayant will send more information when he is able.

Blessings to all,

The Sister Parish Committee of Risen Savior

Prayers of the Faithful                        February 27 & 28, 2021

Presider:

Let us pray for all whose faith or trust is challenged by the demands of daily living, and especially for those whose challenges seem insurmountable.

Reader: 

  • For the Church: that we may be transfigured more and more into the image and likeness of Christ, we pray: 
  • For renewal of our society: that God will heal those wounded by prejudice and injustice and show us ways to dismantle racist structures and practices, we pray:
  • For all who are awaiting transformation: that God’s love will free them and bring to wholeness those with addictions, fears, or who are held unjustly, we pray:
  • For the grace to listen: that we may hear the voice of Christ in prayer, in events, and in relationships so that we may respond more fully to God’s invitation, we pray:
  • For our brothers and sisters in Gris Gris: that we may be filled with care and compassion  and respond with generous hearts, open hands, and a renewed sense of solidarity with all the families and children, we pray:
  • For those who are ill and have asked for our prayers, including Tom Diger, and Cristine De La Rosa; may they find hope for healing and strength in the transfigured Jesus, we pray: *
  • For those who have died, especially Janice Wolf, as well as Gregory Gerlach, song of Marjorie Gerlach, and for all who mourn the passing of loved ones, we pray:

Presider: 

Loving God, your divine Son shines with the radiance of your glory. Hear our prayers that one day we might share fully in that same glory. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

February 28: Hilltop Time

By

When I am walking in a nature park I like to pause on a hilltop periodically to get a sense of the lay of the land.  That hilltop experience helps me to see obstacles ahead as well as a good path to take.  Something of this hilltop perspective is present in the Liturgy today.  Abraham takes Isaac up a mountain and Abraham sees how necessary it is for him to be devoted to God.  Jesus takes his three best friends up a mountain and they see him in a new light.

Lent is a time to climb a hill to gain a clearer perspective regarding our walk of faith, hope, and love.  Through purposeful prayer, fasting, and almsgiving we see more clearly God’s path ahead for us in being right with God, self, and others.  We can make course corrections as necessary.

What does hilltop look like for you?  What do you see?  What will you do?
