Pentecost

 

 

Here are two photos of the eight boys who were baptized this morning at Mass.  In the top photo you see that two of the boys (in front) are wearing red ribbons while the others are wearing white ones.  Today is Mother's Day here in Haiti and people wear ribbons to remember their mothers.  Those whose mothers are living wear red ribbons while the orphans wear white.

Corpus Christi

Twenty-three boys and girls celebrated Corpus Christi by receiving their First Holy Communion. The liturgy lasted two hours and included singing, dancing, distribution of Bibles and certificates and a dedication ceremony. Today is also Mother's day here so we had a couple of special songs and prayers for all our mothers.
