Blessings! Quickly -- late preparing for departure. I leave tomorrow midday, overnight in Miami, arrive PaP midday Tuesday. Rather a "flying blind" trip, as I have no confirmed information about much of anything. I think Maison Mission is habitable. There may or may not be cars available for rental (if advised), but not by advance reservation. Please keep me and our brethren there in your prayers. Back, God willing, 5 March. Will try to post some information while there, but access to internet also uncertain. Possible, but perhaps not practical.

==========================

At 4:50 P.M. EST on Tuesday, January 12th an earthquake registering 7.0 on the Richter Scale hit the Island of Hispaniola near Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. The earthquake's epicenter was located 15 miles from Port-Au-Prince in a bearing West-South-West, according to the USGS-NEIS. Several aftershocks were also registered with magnitudes greater than 5.0, West of Port-Au-Prince, for the hours following the initial earthquake.

Our two mission communities in Haiti are located on opposite sides of the earthquake's epicenter; one in Port-Au-Prince in the other in Jacmel. Port-Au-Prince is home to The Chapel of St. Dorothy of Kashin, The School of St. Nicholas and The School of St. John Chrysostom. Jacmel is the home to The Parish of St. Augustine and The School of St. Augustine (ISOSA).
