2 FROM FATHER DOUG S DESK Our Outreach to Haiti Since our inception almost 6 years ago, our parish has reached out to the people of Haiti. Almost 20 parishioners have traveled there to get to know the people, their faith, their culture and their needs. Our primary work has been to the town of Baraderes where we have helped build a school, a well, and a garden as well as supplying sewing machines, yarn and solar panels. Recently we received a letter from Sr. Denis Desil who coordinates our efforts there. It is unedited. She writes: doctor. We attended to 230 people for eye doctors. We saw 11 people for the dentist. That s 911 patients in a week. We thank you very much for your support. Our 5 th annual parish fundraiser for Haiti will be April 8 at the Knights of Columbus Hall on W 130 th and Lorain from 6-10pm. Tickets are $20 and include pizza, pasta, salad, soda and draft beer. Dinner will be served from 6:30-8:30pm. Tickets will be available this week after Mass and at the rectory. There will also be a Chinese auction and 50/50 sideboards. For more information call Marge Sheridan at Dear Fr. Dough (she always spells my name with an H ) and parishioners at BT, We thank you for sending Tom and Carolyn (Simmonds) to help us for the annual clinic for the population of Baraderes. Thanks also for the economic support which helps us very much for some important expenses like medicines and fares for doctor s transportation and food also. We appreciate your efforts for us in Haiti. This week is a real busy week for us. This afternoon our driver went to get two ophthamologists for us. The clinic is going to be tomorrow. The dental and general clinics are over. We registered about more than 700 people. 200 more arrived unannounced. We have some rains so it is good for the people. The weather is pleasant but the road is sleeper (I think she meant slippery). Your church makes a huge difference in the life of the people in Baraderes. We got people all over Baraderes for this clinic. We thank you for the good work you have done to support our ministries in Haiti. May Jesus continue to bless you and your ministries at Blessed Trinity parish? (Yes, she put the question mark there! That is an automatic grammar correction, but it was kind of humorous). Please present our best regards to the parishioners. Have a blessed Lent time. With deepest gratitude and prayers, Sr. Denis Desil, PSST The Sacred Triduum are the three holiest days of our liturgical year. Every effort should be made to spend these three days in intense prayer and reflection. Beginning with the Mass of the Lord s Supper on Holy Thursday, we recall Christ s last day on earth. With his many disciples, we walk with him in his passion and death on Good Friday and rise with him at the Easter vigil. All liturgical ministers should attend the vigil here as we welcome the newly baptized and those entering full communion into our parish. Join our parish team for the Run Puritas 5K/1 Mile Fun Run on Sat., April 30. We need at least 10 participants to make up a Blessed Trinity team and qualify for a reduced registration fee of $15 each. Race information and registration forms are at the back table in church and at the rectory. Taize Holy Week Prayer Join us on Tuesday of Holy Week, March 22, at 7 P.M. for a meditative evening prayer of chants, readings and silent prayer. Taize Prayer is held at River's Edge, 3430 Rocky River Drive. It is led by members of our parish choir. Join us! BOUNTIFUL BASEMENT items always needed are: tunafish, laundry detergent, dish soap, toilet paper, baby diapers, deodorant, soap bars, toothpaste, shampoo, and hotel samples. Thank you for all you do to help our clients. They really appreciate your help. PSST stands for Little Sisters of the Poor of St. Therese of the Child Jesus. The letter was typed. Sr. Denise added the following in her own handwriting: We saw 570 people for general consultation with a Meals on Wheels is in need of volunteers. Can you volunteer 1 hour, 1 day a week? Call Georgann at if you can help. March 20, 2016 Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord2
