Luau for Haiti: Update

Thank you to everyone who donated school supplies to send to the Haiti Mission.  St. Francis church sent about 2 bins full of school supplies--thank you for your support!

Congratulations to Nick, Allison, Nick and Jill--our creative photo contest winners!

The youth ministers pose for a photo with Pam Trebtoske who spoke about her experiences in Haiti during the earth quake.


The Luau for Haiti was a wonderful night of fun, games, entertainment...and all for a good cause.  We raised over $200 for the Catholic Relief Services effort in Haiti.  We heard from Pam Trebtoske who works with the Sacred Heart mission in Haiti and was actually there on a mission trip during the earthquake when it hit!  She shared compelling stories of the school and orphanage who are in great need and will be very grateful for the money and donations raised from the Luau.  We all had a great time--thanks for your support!

Special thanks goes to Pam Trebtosk for sharing with the group and also to Angie Slattery for hosting this event at the New Pax Christi Youth Center.  Thank you!
