Helping Our Brothers & Sisters at Home.

When the earthquake hit Haiti in January 2010, it effectively leveled the most populous diocese of The Episcopal Church. Seventy percent of church buildings were considered a total loss. Diocesan-run schools, clinics and hospitals that served over 100,000 Episcopalians, as well as countless community members, were wiped out in thirty-five seconds.

As they say in Haiti, Men anpil chay pa lou, or many hands make the load lighter. Working together, we can complete this project brick by brick, and $10 buys a brick.

You can help. Over the next 5 weeks St. John's is joining with other parishes across our diocese to help one of our own. The Bishop of Haiti and his people have asked for our help to rebuild the spiritual center of the Episcopal Church in Haiti, Holy Trinity Cathedral.
