A SAD REALITY - Jean Rabel, Haiti
Mezelia and her husband have at least five grown up children, most of whom have left their local area, seeking a better life in the capital Port-au-Prince. Both were hardworking parents trying to provide food and education for their family.
December 28th was a memorable day because the Jean Rabel basketball team had invited the Mol St. Nicholas team to a friendly match! The first basketball match in many years.
It was the first time for Sr. Valle Chías González-Blanch, RJM and Sr. Curín José García Calvo, RJM to visit the monthly celebration of the “Pastoral Timoun Piti” in Beldorin.
Below are excerpts from reflections on Haiti that Sr. Curin wrote about arriving in Haiti and excerpts from an article on Sr. Valle written by Carina Farreras for Lavanguaria. You will want to read the full texts which are attached to the Bridges email in both English and Spanish.
“CURÍN” GARCÍA CALVO - Joins RJM in Jean Rabel, Haiti
Hello to the entire USA province!!! First of all, I would like to thank the Congregation for the possibility of going to Jean Rabel (Haiti) and being able to get to know and live in another reality.
Here is the mobile clinic team that has started this December in the Jean Rabel area.
From September 1 through October 4, RJM communities observed the ‘Season of Creation’ by focusing on one element in the call of our JM Preferences: “...to work with passion for...the integrity of creation.”
It is with shock and deep sadness that the whole community of Jean Rabel heard of the sudden death of “Berde” Douglas Langeroy on the 26th of August 2020.
