Heartache and Joy


Thursday, Friday and Saturday were days of heartache and joy.  Fr. Herve took us to Mother Teresa's orphanage and care center ran by the Sisters of Charity.  The love and compassion extended to those dying of TB and AIDS and the gratitude of those afflicted was a profound experience.  The needs of orphaned and challenged children gives witness to recognizing charity as fundamental in our lives.

The school of Our Lady of Lourdes shows the spirit and potential of this island.  To see the parish gather for the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes and raise a joys song of celebration and thanksgiving was unforgettable.  Fr. Herve is in charge of a special place.
