College Ste. Pierre
One of the images relating to the earthquake that Bishop Duracin used when we met with him was that of baptism and new life through Jesus. It is the image of passing through death into life that he believes will be the enduring word coming out of the January 12th earthquake.
That was also the tone of the first meeting that we had on March 10th with the leaders of the Diocesan Committee overseeing the reconstruction of the infrastructure of the Episcopal Church in Haiti, including College Ste. Pierre. Even as Haiti continues to struggle with the immediate affects of the earthquake, many are praying for and working toward a life-giving future. That certainly was the focus of our initial meeting regarding the future mission of College Ste. Pierre (CSP). In the days ahead, I will share with you both the history of CSP and the emerging hopes and dreams for its future.
The challenge of re-building will be enormous, the hope and impact that the New CSP will have will be defining for a new generation of leadership in Haiti. I am thankful for the privilege of being part of this effort and I invite you to join with me in building the New CSP. +TJ
