The Land of High Mountains

Gloria Josephs, our beloved "Haiti Lady," has been a passionate advocate for Fr. Rick and Our Little Brothers and Sisters Orphanage in Haiti, as well as Saint Damien Pediatric Hospital. Don't miss this beautiful movie about the children we at St. Luke's help support.
The Land of High Mountains is the inspiring true story of the only pediatric hospital in Haiti. It is a powerful account of the incredible people both Haitian and foreign who are working together to heal the children of the island and to realize the dreams of a nation.

The four candles of the Advent Wreath represent the four weeks of Advent. The progressive lighting of the candles symbolizes the expectation and hope surrounding our Lord’s first coming into the world and the anticipation of His second coming to judge the living and the dead.
- The first candle symbolizes our hope which comes from God’s promises.
- The second candle reminds us to prepare for the Lord.
- The third candle represents the joy that Jesus brings to us.
- The fourth candle represents the love of the angels who announced the good news.
The Advent Wreath
Dear Jesus, may reflecting on these Advent candles, help us to slow down, listen to your voice, and focus on what’s really important. We place our hope in you as we prepare our hearts to celebrate your birth on Christmas. ~ Amen
