Our Project Coordinator, Elizabeth van der Weide, will be traveling to Haiti on January 2nd. When she returns on January 8, she'll be accompanied by Père Wisnel Dejardin, on his first trip to Wisconsin. A number of events are being planned around the diocese for the week of January 8 - January 14. These events to allow us to meet Père Wisnel, hear his story and news of Jeannette...and to let him get to know us.

Friends in Christ-
While we celebrate this blessed holiday season, please take a moment to remember (and celebrate with) our brothers and sisters in Jeannette, Haiti. In this, our 25th year of partnership, we've seen some wonderful things happen in Jeannette. Thank you all for your generosity and prayers and care for this incredible place. We have had a wonderful partnership and we all look forward to the next twenty-five years.
Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année, mes amis!
Peace,
Elizabeth

Holiday Gifts...for us all!
It is never to late to think about a special gift...or about giving.
The gift of sponsorship of a student at St. Marc's gives children the gift of education, healthcare and food. The gift of sponsorship gives us the gift of relationship and the building of community.
The gift of Singing Rooster coffee gives the people of Jeannette a source of funding for economic development projects. The gift of coffee gives us the taste of the finest beans around.
Details on these gift ideas...and other ways to celebrate the season and our partnership in Haiti can be found at www.haitiproject.org

The gift of a prayer or a moment of quiet
presence binds us all together in God's love.
Joyful thoughts and prayers of peace for us all
in this season of joy!
