Grace and peace in Christo per Mariam! For beginning, I wish you a very good Easter feast. I want to tell you that a new Bishop is appointed in the Hinche diocese. His name is Jean Desinord. He is 49 years old. Please pray for him and for the diocese. Thank you for your support and for everything! Be sure my people and I love you and continue to carry you in our daily prayers. May God keep you safe and healthy! Father Elizier
In the Commons this weekend, our ministry to the ladies at the Women's Correctional Facility will be selling raffle tickets for handmade gift baskets. Proceeds provide scholarships and other support for the ladies. We hope you can join us for Kates Day, May 4. More information is available at the table. Thank you for your continued support of this important ministry.
In December, REAP opened Celebrate Virginia store at Regency Square. To keep the store open, we need to move to the thrift store model. Little Sisters, Hope Thrift, etc. have one paid staff person and 100 or more volunteers who work 3-4 hour shifts. The store is currently open on Wednesday to Saturday from 11:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. While your are at Celebrate Virginia - your job might include: serving our customers, keeping the store in order, helping with gift basket production, or administrative tasks. We'll provide the training. If you can help, please let us know. Without your help, we will have to close the store at the end of April. Thanks for your prayers and consideration.
