Haiti Earthquake
Today we ask prayers for our bothers and sisters in Haiti. There are already so few resources there. Please pray for the 3 million+ folks who will now struggle for their very survival. Also, pray for our Archdiocese of Cincinnati lay missionary there, Marty Mescher, from St. John the Baptist in Maria Stein. Any donations you would like direct to Haiti could be done through Marty and St. John. Or, please consider supporting relief efforts through CRS at their website at www.crs.org.  Thanks!
