Editor’s Note: The earthquake in Haiti this Tuesday has caused inestimable damage to the country, and particularly to the poor. The Oblates of St. Francis de Sales are present in Port au Prince, living and working among the poor of the area. The week before the earthquake, Oblate provincial Fr. Jim Greenfield and vocation and communication director Fr. Kevin Nadolski visited with the Oblates and their associates in Haiti. After the earthquake, they met with reporters from the Wilmington News Journal to discuss their experience and update people on the situation of the Oblates and their associates in the area. As we continue to pray for the people of Haiti, we are reminded of how interconnected we all are as a Church and as a human family. The earthquake is also another sobering reminder that the people affected most acutely by natural disasters are the poor. The article may be found here:
