It is with both sadness and joy that I send to you news of the Claretian mission in Haiti. My sadness is shared by Claretians throughout the world, and of course by you and so many others, as we work to forge a path to recovery after the devastating earthquake. While the Claretians in Haiti were gratefully spared, our mission site was destroyed. In our communities there has been death, destruction, pain and heartache. The inspiration is that there has also been courage, solidarity, faith and hope—which is why I say that I send this news with both sorrow and joy. The presence of God is certainly there.
Thank you for your prayers for suffering Haiti.
With gratitude and hope,
Rev. Richard DeTore, C.M.F.
Provinicial Superior
Hope for Haiti
Just one day after the earthquake struck Haiti, a Claretian convoy assembled to head into the destruction and stand in solidarity with the Haitian Claretians and their communities. The group, from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, was led by Fr. Hector Cuadrado, C.M.F., Major Superior of the Claretian Antilles Province, which includes Haiti.
