Immigration is a hot topic, but public policy debates overlook the dreams, talents and characters of individuals leaving their homelands. Fortunately, we can learn more from the migrants who live among us. Recently, more than a dozen Good Shepherd and Blessed Sacrament parishioners studied immigration’s big picture together in a class. It reminded us that Jesus was a migrant. And, we were called to promote understanding, love and justice for all God’s people. We aim to answer that call to action by meeting some migrants in our community. Please click title for more details.

Bud Fennema, Kenol Saint-Fort and Tom Fackender traveled to Marigot, Haiti on March 25-28 to deliver funds and attend the training for the first village bank at St. Dominique Church. They were assisted in Haiti by Ecunio Alphonse and Jean Bony DeLorge, as well as Ken Firling from St. Margaret Mary Church in Winter Park.   Nearly 30 women selected to receive loans attended the one-day training session. If all goes well, we hope to establish a second bank later this year. Father Andréfaite and all the attendees send greetings and expressions of gratitude for the generosity of the Good Shepherd family.   The Good Shepherd group also traveled by boat to St. Andrew Chapel to meet with parishioners and witness progress with the livestock program there.   We will continue to provide you with updates on both the livestock and banking programs. Thank you again for your support and prayers.
