Dear Friends,<\/p>\n
Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Haiti.<\/p>\n
– Haiti is the largest and fastest-growing diocese in The Episcopal Church.<\/p>\n
– There are over 83,000 Episcopalians in Haiti<\/p>\n
– There are over 110 Episcopal Churches in Haiti, and over 200 Episcopal schools<\/p>\n
The Episcopal Church in Haiti has lost a cathedral, convent, Holy Trinity Complex, College St. Pierre, and a Jubilee Center. The Bishop has no place to live. Thankfully, the four missionaries are all accounted for – Mallory Holding, Jude Harmon, Oge Beauvoir and his wife Serette.<\/p>\n
