Art Mulkey, Jim Benner, Kari Brown and Vicki Glueckert are traveling to Haiti for a medical mission Feb. 25 – March 2. There are two ways you can help. 1. It costs about $1,200 per person to fly to Haiti. If you would like to help with costs stop by our table this weekend or send donations to the office. Be sure to put “Haiti Travel” in memo of checks. 2. Supplies that are needed for this year’s trip are the following: infant vitamins, children’s vitamins (due to heat NO gummy vitamins), baby bottles, triple antibiotic cream and fungal cream.  There is a grey tote in the entry way of the church that you can place your items in for the next couple of weeks. Thank you and God Bless

St Bernard’s parish supports a sister parish in Meribalis Haiti.  We have been sending money for the poor for over ten years.  In 2002 we raised $60,0000 to build a school (Our Lady of Grace) and we sponsor the students every year.  The last couple of years we have been able to sponsor almost all 300 students. We ask $100 for the school year to sponsor.  We are connected to HOM of Detroit which yearly sends a team of medical and construction workers to help Catholic and Episcopal parishes in the area. We are always looking for other groups or parishes to come on board, as there is always plenty of need to go around.  Fr Faublas, the Catholic priest would love to be able to build another much needed school for a parish in his surrounding area. If you have any questions or want to learn more contact Mary Koelzer 259-4618.
