Haiti - Religion : More than $700,000 in grants, for the reconstruction of the Church in Haiti 30/03/2014 11:13:33
In addition to the projects funded by the Collection for the Church in Latin America, the subcommittee also approved four projects for the reconstruction of the Church in Haiti, totaling $726,741. Funding for these projects comes from the special collection for the Church in Haiti taken in 2010. One funded group is the Little Sisters of St. Therese, located in Cazeau, whose their convent was destroyed in the 2010 earthquake and since then the sisters have been living in tents. A grant of $428,741 will cover the cost of a new residence for the sisters. The process of rebuilding the Church in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake has been a long and difficult one,” said Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami, chairman of the subcommittee’s Haiti Advisory Group. "There were many setbacks and unique challenges. However, with persistence, the prayers and the generous financial gifts of their sisters and brothers in the faith, the Church in Haiti is rising from the rubble." All USCCB aid for reconstruction work in Haiti goes through the Partnership for Reconstruction of the Church in Haiti (PROCHE), an entity of the Haitian Bishops’ Conference (CEH).
