Haiti Sewing Ministry 2014 |
Loving God, we ask your blessing upon these dresses and especially upon the children who will wear them.�� Keep them safe and healthy.� Bless all who care for them. And bless those who shared their time and talent to create these Love Dresses and shorts. We ask these blessings in Jesus� Name.�� Amen |
Making Friendship bracelets |
Dolls for the pockets of the smallest dresses |
Dresses and Shorts were hung in church and blessed before they began their journey to the boys and girls in Haiti |
On behalf of the boys and girls in our sister parishes in Haiti,� we want to thank everyone for sharing your time, talent and resources to create 91 pair of shorts for little boys and 279 �Love Dresses� for little girls.�� There is a little doll or a bracelet for each child plus a few extras for birthday treats and other special occasions.� Thanks also to all who made monetary donations to help defray the cost of materials or who used your own fabric to sew.�� There were also some soccer balls in the suitcase for St. Francis Xavier in Akul Samdi, thanks to two generous parishioners.�� And needless to say,� without the donations of your suitcases and the kindness of Joe Z none of our sewing, rosaries, dolls, bracelets or soccer balls would get to Haiti. . . .so thank you and may God smile on you! |
