Congratulations to the People of the Diocese!!
Our Haiti Partnership goal of increasing our Sponsorship of Children at St. Marc’s church is half way there and we haven’t even started the New Year!!!
Ten people in the Diocese have decided that sponsoring a child in Haiti is the perfect Christmas Gift for families and/or Grandchildren. It is certainly a Kingdom building gift and one that endures forever.
Would you please consider joining this worthwhile way of expanding and solidifying the Partnership? St. Marc’s mountaintop Church and School in the community of Jeannette Haiti is a beacon of hope for the people. It helps build their future and their self-sustainability.

Have a Blessed Christmas, one and all.
From the Diocesan Haiti Partnership Team.
Bishop Leidel:
We wanted to acknowledge that we have received the Diocese of Eau Claire’s check in the amount of $611 (from your Diocesan Convention Eucharist Offering) for the Trinity Cathedral Appeal. Your Diocese is in the vanguard – one of the first donations we have received from a diocese! We thank you for this generous gift for the rebuilding of the Cathedral Complex in the Diocese of Haiti. An official thank you letter will be sent in a few weeks on the Appeal’s letterhead and documenting your gift for tax purposes. But we wanted to let you know your gift had arrived and is well-celebrated today. The Episcopal Church Foundation is the special appeal counsel to the Episcopal Church for the Haiti appeal and that is why you are hearing from us in the meantime.
In addition, it was edifying to see your additional efforts through the Haiti Project in Jeanette.
With appreciation and wishes for a blessed Advent season,
Faithfully,
Kate
