A New Pastor, Renewed Hope, Our Continuing Mission There is important news from our twin parish, Sacred Heart (Sacré Coeur), in Hinche, Haiti!  The Diocese has recently reassigned several priests, and we are saddened to say farewell to our beloved Father Faublas. We are deeply grateful for his many years of faithful service, dedication, and love for the people of Sacred Heart Parish. We wish him God's abundant blessings in his new assignment.  At the same time, we are delighted to welcome Father Michenet Duportal as our new pastor! We look forward to working closely with him as we continue our 27-year mission.

Prior to his departure, Father Faublas began restoring  Our Lady of the Assumption Chapel, located outside the main parish compound. Together with Father Duportal, we are committed to completing this important project.  Our immediate needs are solar power for electricity, pews for seating, and security to protect the chapel.  With the restoration of the Chapel, we are extending that sacred refuge beyond the parish compound, bringing Christ's Eucharistic presence and the hope of His love to another community.  We must also continue meeting the ongoing expenses of our medical clinic, including pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and patient care. These essential services remain a lifeline for the people of Hinche.

You Are the Reason --None of this would be possible without you! Through St. Monica parishioners generosity, prayers, and faithful support, we have provided medical care, nourishment, clean water, and, above all, a place where Christ's presence brings comfort and hope to people enduring unimaginable hardships.  Your generosity is essential to completing the chapel, sustaining our clinic, and continuing the work God has entrusted to us. Above all, please continue to pray and we trust that the Holy Spirit.

Together, we are not simply restoring a chapel. We are building a sanctuary of hope, 

where Christ remains present among His people, even in the darkest of times.
