Women religious in Haiti alleviating the suffering of their people
Article written by By Sr. Elaine Castro Matheuz published in Vatican News
The Dominican Sisters of Charity of the Presentation of the Most Blessed Virgin are like a hopeful embrace for Haitians experiencing extremely difficult conditions.
Haiti is facing serious problems, including extreme poverty, natural disasters, violence, deportations and a health crisis that affects the entire population.
As urgent need for medical care, education, psychological support and humanitarian aid is increasing, the Sisters are dedicating themselves to providing not only medical assistance and food, but also charity and dignity.
Sr. Marthe Placius lives in this context. Her story exemplifies the work of many women religious who give everything each day, out of love for their people.
