Haiti: Faith, Hope and Determination to Rebuild and Continue

Molly Hightower

Earlier this month, Fr. Rick offered Mass for Molly Hightower and Ryan Kloos on top of the rubble of the Fr. Wasson Center on an altar made of fallen block, using chant and incense to honor them and all who died in the earthquake, and to show faith, hope, and determination to rebuild and continue.

The Father Wasson Center in Petionville, was a 7-story building that served as a guest house, volunteer residence, administrative offices and day school for children with disabilities. It collapsed in the earthquake. School was not in session at the time of the destruction.

The site is being cleared by heavy government equipment, and Fr. Rick will rebuild a central administration center there. There are also plans to make an artistic monument to stand prominently on the corner, by a famous Haitian artist, dedicating the new center to Ryan and Molly and honoring all the victims of the earthquake.
