Dear Pilgrims of Sainte-Anne,

A very simple word to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your support messages and generous donations to the "Redemptorist Haïti Emergency Fund". Those ample demonstrations are perceived as concrete witnesses of your strong solicitude and empathy toward our Haïtians brothers and sisters.

I express to you my gratitude for showing such deeply touching solidarity spirit. We praise the Lord for your help to relieve the pain caused by this terrible hardship Haïtians peoples are going trough, and you will remain in my personal prayers.

By answering our call to come to the rescue of the Redemptorist mission in Haïti with such a spontaneous fervent one's heart impulse, you followed the Jesus' words to his apostles: "You give them something to eat." (Mark 6, 37)

This bread of life miracle was made possible by each of your donations, each of your prayers, each of your good word, action or true will to be a part of the worldly effort invested in this humanitarian cause.

Once again, thank you!

Fraternally in Christ Redeemer,

Father Mario Boies, C.Ss.R.,
Redemptorist Provincial Superior
