A delegation from St. Anthony, lead by our Pastor, Fr. Gary, visited Saint Anne Parish in Hyacinth, Haiti, our sister Parish in October 2013. This was our second visit to our sister Parish. The goal of the visit was to strenthen the ties with Saint Ann and to solemly bless the new vehicle that was purchased from donations for Pe Josue Seide, the pastor of Saint Anne. Pe Josue serves 7,000 Catholics in different neighboring locations, and needed to have his own transportation. The pictures came from the delegation in Haiti.
