Dear Friends,

The catastrophe in Haiti caused us to reach out and save the lives of hundreds of thousands who are homeless and have children and relatives who are without anything. Many people have lost hope in Haiti and are turning to the second big capital city Cap-Haitian where our brothers are for refuge. Our brothers have taken them in. Our Community Chapel is now a refugee center and the Asile Communal Center for homeless and destitute adults as well as our Bethlehem Center for disabled children have been expanded to take in temporary refugees. Brother Henry is receiving people from the Hospitals, and from trucks and buses coming from Port au Prince to the Missionaries of the Poor to receive shelter. Jesuit priests from the Dominican Republic and others are now helping the brothers in this refugee work.

Our Brother John Presca, MOP has lost his sister in the earthquake. Brother Loubert, MOP has lost his aunt and brother Pierre Charles' entire family is missing. All three are our Haitian Brothers.

We need all the support you can offer specially with basic food items like rice, corn meal, flour, sugar beans and clean water. Home supplies like beds, bed linens, clothes, towels, etc. are also greatly needed.

In His service,

Rev. Fr. Richard Ho Lung, MOP
Superior General
