Second Collection: Haiti
For over 25 years the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart has been "giving drink to the thirsty" through our twin parish - St. Paul's Church and School in Carissade. This rural community depends on the services of the parish: 380 children attend the elementary school each year, 600 patients are treated each month in the parish clinic, and 16 students receive scholarships to attend high school. We are so very grateful for the ongoing prayers of the parish, and for your generosity in supporting this vital mission.
As a part of our Corporal Works of Mercy this Lent, we ask that you consider making a contribution to assist us in raising funds necessary to support our sisters and brothers. All funds are used for direct services for those in need, including the operating costs of the schools, food, water, sanitation and health care. "Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me." (Matt 25:40).
