Haiti - Religion : Pope Francis appoint a new Bishop in Haiti 26/10/2014 09:11:15
Meanwhile, as the National Congress is held, organized by the Italian Episcopal Conference from October 24 to 26 in the city of Salerno (Italy), the Pope encouraged not to lose hope in the "quicksand" of the precariousness. He also criticized the fact that "young people are rejected because they do not have jobs [...] The future of a people is rejected, because young people are the future and we must say no to this culture of rejection." Learn more about Mgr Alphonse Quesnel : Alphonse Quesnel joined the congregation of the fathers Monfortains (MMS) where he pronounced his first vows on October 1, 1972. After completing his studies in philosophy and theology at Notre Dame d'Haiti in Port-au-Prince, he was ordained priest on July 16 1977 and made his perpetual vows in October 1977.
