Celebrate the Confirmation of Someone Special in Your Life with an Anglican Rosary
|
The Anglican Rosary is a contemplative prayer form where the goal is internal silence. This silence opens up the soul to listening to the Holy Spirit.
The Anglican rosary is fairly modern and combines the Roman Catholic Rosary with the Orthodox Jesus Prayer Rope.
The Rosary is comprised of 33 beads: the number of years of Jesus’ life. There is one invitatory bead followed by four sets of seven beads called weeks with a single bead called the cruciform that sits between each week. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, the number 7 represents spiritual perfection and completion.
The circle of beads is prayed, unhurriedly, three times to signify the Holy Trinity. The saying of the Rosary is followed by a period of silence for reflection.

Join us on a Trip?
The Diocese of Milwaukee Haiti Project has had a 26 year partnership with the parish of St. Marc’s in Jeannette, Haiti. During this time many people have traveled on mission trips to build relationships, provide medical care, teach needed skills, repair infrastructure, and more.
Are you called to do the same? Are you called to be present, with our brothers and sisters in Haiti, and we grow together in the body of Christ?
If you are, we invite you to prayerfully consider participation in a Haiti Project mission trip. We are currently planning trips in the following time windows:
July Trip 2012 Report
Early October 2012
January 2013-Clergy Trip
February 2013-Medical Trip
Late April 2013
If interested, complete the volunteer information form. If you have questions or would like more information, please contact us at info@haitiproject.org.

Haitian Coffee
: Singing
Rooster
The Haiti Project sells delicious Haitian coffee called Singing Rooster -- named after Bishop's Steven Miller's favorite alarm clock in Jeannette: Big Red - whose wake-up calls began at 1:58 am, then 2:45, 3:17... you get the picture (true story)
In 3 years, we've raised OVER $25,000 JUST by selling this coffee -- we use it parish wide during fellowship hour and hold coffee sales at church.
Purchasing
Singing
Rooster
coffee
supports
Haitian
farmers
including
those living
in Jeanette
–
beans come
from grower
cooperatives.
100% of
proceeds
go BACK
to Haiti
for economic
sustainability
programs
like coffee
agriculture.
Using coffee as a means to support our brothers and sisters in Haiti is a win-win: Haitian farmers win immediately when we purchase their green beans at much, much higher than fair trade prices (Singing Rooster paid over $4 per pound at the 2012 harvest -- fair trade prices are under $3.10).
Singing Rooster meets and then exceeds principles of Fair Trade.
Drink Singing Rooster Haitian coffee, support an economy. Pass it on. |

Our
Mission
The Haiti Project
is an Outreach
Ministry of the
Episcopal Dioceses
of Milwaukee.
We work in partnership
with others from
all walks of
life who share
the belief that
education, clean
water, access
to medicine,
and compassion
are basic human
necessities.
Ending poverty
in Haiti is multifaceted,
and we take our
role of stewardship
seriously. That’s
why more than
90% of our expenses
are used for
programs that
directly affect
the people living
in Haiti - especially
the small and
mountainous community
of Jeannette.
100% of our funding
comes from private
sources, including
individuals,
churches, corporations
and grants. Our
collective goal
is to promote
self-sufficiency
and independence.
Join
us. Let
us know you're
interested.
