From Marie Lucey, LCWRs Associate Director for Social Mission:
"All of us are very concerned about and saddened by yesterday's major earthquake in Haiti which has devastated Port-au-Prince. Executive Director Jane Burke has contacted LCWR members with sisters in Haiti to ask about their welfare. CRS has issued an Emergency Brief which includes a prayer for our brothers and sisters in Haiti, as well as suggestions about how to help. I'm sure we are all in solidarity with Haiti in this agonizing time."
Please click here to go to the CRS website, which includes the Emergency Brief. (Note: The FBI has issued an alert urging us to be careful about scams with regard to Haitian relief. We know that CRS is a reputable organization and that it has pledged $5 million to the immediate relief effort. Thus, I'm still suggesting that all financial donations flow through CRS at this time.)
