HAITI RELIEF—HOW YOU CAN HELP!

Father Bien-Aime, an Anglican Priest, is Rector of Notre Dame de la Grace Chapel in Port-au-Prince and oversees an orphanage there. The recent earthquake in Haiti destroyed the orphanage. Two of the twenty-five young girls were injured and required medical attention. They are all homeless and living in the yard next to where the orphanage once stood. If you are interested in supporting this relief effort, please make checks payable to St. George’s Anglican Church or enclose cash in an envelope marked for Haiti Relief and place your donation in the weekly offering plate.
