Mission

Last Christmas found me on a crowded plane headed to Port au Prince, Haiti, where I spent a day with Religious of the Sacred Heart before driving up to Verrettes, a small town in the Artibonite Valley about two and a half hours away.

For Your Prayers

In Solidarity with the Jewish Community in Kansas City

Together we pray for the victims of the shootings at the Jewish Community Center in Kansas City, their families and the community.

May we see the day when war and bloodshed cease
when a great peace will embrace the whole world

Then nation shall not threaten nation
and humankind will not again know war.

For all who live on earth shall realize
we have not come into being to hate or destroy
We have come into being
to praise, to labour and to love.

Paul McNeil

Please pray for Paul McNeil, a friend and dedicated peace activist, who will have cancer surgery in the near future. Please pray for his complete recovery. He is a wonderful, dedicated person.

Speak little, pray much, go onward always, let passing things pass by, holding only onto what is eternal…
