Shock and horror filled our hearts when we first heard about the recent earthquake that devastated Haiti. Our first response was the BA response. We gathered as a community to support one another and pray for the safety of our families and the people in Haiti. Both staff and students offered comfort, hope and strength to Ms. Michel, our French teacher who had a brother in Haiti, as well as to eight students whose families were directly affected by the earthquake. We prayed the rosary around the clock, believing in the power and hope of intercessory prayer. .jpg)
When Ms. Michel finally heard from her brother days later, she wept with both relief and continued concern for her people. Her brother is one of the many who are forced to “sleep in his car in his backyard” because he is without shelter. Ms. Michel and Father Jack Martin, who is a lead person of the Haiti Solidarity Network of the North East”, spoke to the community about the conditions and plight of Haiti. Donations were collected and made to the Haiti Relief Fund as the first step of many to help begin to ease their suffering.
