UPDATE.

Earthquake Inflicts Catastrophic Damage

Reported from the ACC Provincial Web Site: "Father Jean Bein-Aime of the ACC in Haiti reports that the church's orphanage in Port-au-Prince was completely destroyed by the quake that rocked the island Tuesday night.

The children and their caregivers escaped major injury, but many members of the ACC parishes in the area remain unaccounted for. There is some damage in Mononville, and the Province is at present awaiting reports from Tapio.

More information on the situation in Haiti will be posted as it becomes available. Archbishop Haverland requests that the people of the ACC keep Father Bien-Aime and the mission in Haiti in their prayers.

Those who wish to donate money for relief may do so through the ACC Missionary Society of St. Paul."

(As of last night, January 13, original post)

The earthquake was devastating to the small island country, and no doubt we will learn a lot more over several days. At this hour I do not yet know how much the earthquake might have affected our own people, the Anglican Catholic Church mission in Tapio, St. Therese de L‘Enfant (about which we posted a story). We want information as soon as possible to post here, especially if we might learn of practical ways to help. Certainly, we must all pray right now.
