News Detail

Rebuild Our Church in Haiti announces new and updated resources for congregations and dioceses launching their fall appeal to help rebuild Holy Trinity Cathedral in Port au Prince:

Advent Devotional: This advent devotional (scroll down to find this in the Liturgies and Prayers section) was written by the seminarians at Seminaire de Théologie Episcopale d’Haïti. Working with Mallory Holding during her work in Haiti as part of the Young Adult Service Corps, each student picked a day in Advent and chose a verse from the assigned readings on which to write a reflection and prayer. Share this with your parish and pass on the hope rising from the ruins in Haiti.

Gift Card: Give your friends and family the gift of renewal: buy a brick toward the new cathedral. This fun gift card makes a great stocking stuffer, Thanksgiving place card, teacher or office gift.

Sample Fundraiser Ideas: Need some inspiration for a fundraiser? Check out these already successful fundraising ideas from innovative Episcopalians across the globe (this can be found in the Planning and Recruiting section).

Rebuild Our Church in Haiti is a national, grass-roots effort launched on the 1st anniversary of the magnitude seven earthquake that decimated Haiti in 2010. The appeal was authorized by Executive Council in response to the request from Bishop Jean Zach Duracin and the people of Haiti to help rebuild the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
