13523: Nlbo: Published in October's U.S Catholics (fwd)
From: Nlbo@aol.com
Cheers to the August issue on Black Catholics. As a lay person active in the
Haitian Ministry, I am impressed with Francois Pierre-Louis' article("The
rythm of the faithful") and envious that in my Boston area chaplaincy, if it
weren't for a gentleman who at the end of mass opened a red and blue
umbrella, the Haitian Flag day would have gone unnoticed.
Though I commend the article, Pierre Louis neglected to mention the
Brooklyn _ based National Center of the Haitian Apostolate (NCHA)which serves
as a bridge between the Church here and the one Haiti. Through its annual
conferences, Haitian scholars have kept both the laity and the clergy current
on ecclesial and cultural issues.
