MISSION & MINISTRIESHAITI RELIEF“Even under ‘normal’ circumstances, Haiti struggles to care for her 9 million people.

Diocese and EWC Women team up
Global mission and awareness
Oct. 1, 2011, the Diocese of Quincy presented Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori with a check for $11,205.31, representing donations from every person in every parish in the diocese. The year-long campaign to rebuild the Diocese of Haiti after a devastating earthquake is one example of mission in Quincy.
The Diocese has also begin a series of community screenings of the 5-part PBS series "Women, War and Peace," profiling victims of brutality in war-torn global areas of conflict. We hope to increase our own knowledge as well as public awareness of these situations around the world, and develop continuing ministry to aid victims of violence and empower women globally. The Presiding Bishop spoke about her own experiences visiting with victims of brutality. The two-part video series presented below
is from our presentation on these topics before the media and concerned members of the diocese on Oct. 1, 2011.
