Thoughts from the Pastor

July 21, 2024

Dear Friends in Christ,

I would like to thank you for your extremely generous response last weekend to Fr. Wilfranc’s mission appeal for his community in Haiti. In addition to the financial assistance that we are providing for the mission appeal, so many people made Fr. Wilfranc feel right at home here at The Church of the Nativity. Thank you again for everything.

We will still be accepting donations for the appeal for the next week or so. If you would like to make a donation, you can make checks payable to Church of the Nativity with “Haiti mission appeal” in the memo line or you could make a cash donation to the parish office in an envelope labeled Haiti mission appeal.

We can remember the “priorities” for the mission appeal that Fr. Wilfranc conveyed to us in his homily. First, to be able to pay for the administration of his school for the year which annually is $40,000. Secondly, to improve the infrastructure of his school (the school currently has tarps for walls). And thirdly, to help get a medical clinic closer to his parish so the people don’t have to travel hours to get medical assistance. He had a powerful message about his experiences in his home country. It’s great that we have the opportunity to help.

Let’s continue to pray for Fr. Wilfranc and the people of Haiti.

Thank you again for your extremely generous support of this year’s mission appeal.

God Bless,
Fr. Chris
