Our Haitian Adventure: A Wild Ride
http://ourhatianadventure.blogspot.com/2012/02/wild-ride.html
Join us on our journey from Carroll, Iowa to Laborde, Haiti. Friday, February 10, 2012. Upon leaving the airport tarmack and entering the muggy customs building we were confronted by the obligatory confusion and rudeness that seems to go with crossing a border. Patience seemed to wear the officials down and we entered a madhouse of porters all competing for the right to carry our baggage. These guys give the word aggressive a whole new meaning.

http://ourhatianadventure.blogspot.com/2012/02/bonne-fete.html
Join us on our journey from Carroll, Iowa to Laborde, Haiti. Sunday, February 12, 2012. Saturday morning broke early as raindrops fell pleasantly across the parish grounds. "The first rain of the year, said Fr. Herve. It's a blessing from Our Lady! The over twenty concelebrants of the mass, as well as those involved made way to the parish rectory for a banquet feast of Caribbean delicacies. Using the French word "convivialitie", Fr. Herve greeted all with the phrase "Bonne Fete! St Lawrence Parish website.

Our Haitian Adventure: Festival Time
http://ourhatianadventure.blogspot.com/2012/02/festival-time.html
Join us on our journey from Carroll, Iowa to Laborde, Haiti. Sunday, February 12, 2012. After church, we retreated to the rectory where we were invited to join the priests and others for a feast of goat stew and cold Prestige (Haitian beer). What a party! Also, what made the stew particularly poignant was that the goat himself was part of our welcoming party just four short days ago. Talk about a host that is willing to give it all!

Our Haitian Adventure: Dreams Come True
http://ourhatianadventure.blogspot.com/2012/02/dreams.html
Join us on our journey from Carroll, Iowa to Laborde, Haiti. Friday, February 10, 2012. Dreams. It's wonderful to see St. Lawrences' dream of a wonderful hall and remodeled church come to fruition. Nine years ago, the dreams of the pastor of our sister parish in Haiti seemed impossible and now many of them and others are a reality. It is overwhelming to see the building the that the two sister parishes have done. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). St Lawrence Parish website. Main Street, Laborde, Haiti.

Our Haitian Adventure: Heartache and Joy
http://ourhatianadventure.blogspot.com/2012/02/heartache-and-joy.html
Join us on our journey from Carroll, Iowa to Laborde, Haiti. Saturday, February 11, 2012. 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. A Whole New World.

Our Haitian Adventure: Our Beautiful Adventure
http://ourhatianadventure.blogspot.com/2012/02/our-beautiful-adventure.html
Join us on our journey from Carroll, Iowa to Laborde, Haiti. Tuesday, February 7, 2012. Our journey is quickly approaching. Because I was a late addition to the group, I haven't had much more than about a month to prepare. Since my commitment, I have spent time reflecting and educating myself on Haitian culture. Still, I do not know what to expect as we land in Port-au-Prince tomorrow afternoon. February 8, 2012 at 9:35 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). St Lawrence Parish website. A Whole New World.

Our Haitian Adventure: February 2012
http://ourhatianadventure.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Join us on our journey from Carroll, Iowa to Laborde, Haiti. Thursday, February 23, 2012. I’ve been slow at blogging the rest of our trip because of bad internet connections and busy days there. That evening we went to a beautiful beach. Haiti does not attract the tourists that other Caribbean islands do because of the lack of adequate services and the instability of the poor nation. Sunday, February 12, 2012. Main Street, Laborde, Haiti. Which proclaimed the "good festival" of Our Lady. After church, we...
