Embracing Our Discipleship

Preparing for Haiti
Dear Editor: For a long time on my “bucket list” has been the opportunity to visit Haiti – the homeland of many families I have grown to love these many years in ministry. Of course “My Kids,” my teen group, some now with teens of their own, are high among them. From March 13-20, I will be part of an immersion experience in Haiti with some members of the Federation of Sisters of Saint Joseph. I am so grateful for this opportunity and am most certain it will expand a sense and need for care, compassion and unity with every “dear neighbor.”
