Fast for Haiti program

Fast for Haiti is a program by a Catholic youth ministry leader.

The tradition of fasting and praying is thousands of years old -- raise your small sacrifice in prayer to God -- it is really powerful.

Since Lent is coming up, this is a good way to start thinking about how you will live out prayer, fasting and almsgiving for your Lenten observance.

Catholic Relief Services Brings Help to Haiti


Generous contributions from Catholics across the country to Catholic Relief Services are helping thousands of Haitians after the devastating earthquake on January 12th.

Catholic Relief Services has provided food and other emergency supplies to more than 90,000 people through two large sites and parish distribution sites across Port-au-Prince. Catholic Relief Services medical teams are treating 300 per day.
