Last week began a diocesan-wide program to raise funds for the rebuilding of Holy Trinity cathedral, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, which was devastated in the January 2010 earthquake. The cathedral represented more than just a place for the country’s Episcopalians to worship. The Holy Trinity complex contained more than just the cathedral. It housed Holy Trinity Music School, Holy Trinity Professional School (800 students), primary and secondary schools (a total of 1,200 students), and a convent of the Sisters of St. Margaret. All of these buildings were also completely demolished by the 7.0+ temblor. The educational ministry continues as they attempt to rebuild their campus. The “Brick-by-Brick” campaign runs from Epiphany through Easter 2012. To help, you can sponsor one or more “bricks” for the tax-deductible donation of $10 each. Make checks payable to St. Mary’s Episcopal Church and write “Haiti Cathedral” or “Brick-by-Brick” as the notation.

The Office will be closed in observance of President's Day on February 20.
