Dear Queenswood Community,
As you know, Haiti has been devastated by Tuesday’s earthquake. As a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of St. Ann, we will continue to share information with you about the 40 Sisters of St. Ann and their families in Haiti as it becomes available.
The Sisters of St. Ann have four schools in Port-au-Prince and a clinic as well as the SSA Haitian Province Administration centre, with residence and novitiate.
At this time, the Sisters of St. Ann are still without communication with their Sisters in Haiti. They have confirmed through other sources that 2 of their schools and two residences in Port-au-Prince have collapsed; other buildings have considerable damage; still no word about their Provincial House. We ask for your prayers.
Also, aid is desperately needed. The Sisters of Saint Ann have sent a substantial donation for emergency relief to Development and Peace. This donation will be matched by the federal government.
We invite you to contribute to the emergency assistance being organized by Development and Peace at www.devp.org or leave a donation for the Red Cross in the box at the Hospitality Desk.
Thank you, and we will continue to share news as it becomes available.
Kate Fagan Taylor, Executive Director
