I am thankful that God kept Avery safe through a car accident last week which happened while I was still asleep but he was on the road to his summer job. We are thankful that he was not hurt - except for the heartbreak of losing his first car - and he was not at fault so maybe the insurance will help find another one quickly. We are thankful.

Local support making a difference in Haiti From the Twin Parish News, A partnership between St. William, St. Simons Island, and St. Jospeh, Cotes-de-Fer, Haiti Because of you, three chapels now have beautiful floors and completed cement work in their interiors. In his update on chapel construction, Father Faustin reported that two chapels are completely finished and another is almost complete. Some of the money raised at last year’s Fete for Haiti was used for chapel construction. Four chapels received cement, but had to wait for rain, because there wasn’t sufficient water to mix the cement. It’s wonderful to see the progress being made throughout our twin parish because of you.
