Some of our Saint George staff had a great time attending the annual fundraising dinner of the Texas Water Mission that took place last Tuesday, September 28th at the Whitley Theological Center. One of the projects highlighted was the water project at St. Benoit in Mombin Crochu, Haiti. Over the last couple of years, they have done some amazing work!
A cistern holding 22,000 gallons of water now serves the entire population of Mombin Crochu. The same water system serves both the church and school. Residents are able to come and fill up jugs of water and feel safe knowing the water has been tested and treated (as it says on the building). This project is the result of a continued outstanding partnership between St George, Texas Water Mission, and St Benoit. Thanks so much for your support for our friends in Haiti!

For many weeks now, you have seen an announcement before our services, saying, “Let Community of Hope be of service” and, “trained lay chaplains are available.” Perhaps you have asked yourself, what is Community of Hope, what service does it offer, who are these trained lay chaplains, and what, exactly, do they do? On Sunday, June 6th, all of your questions will be answered. During the service, Pam Piedfort, facilitator of our local St. George “Center” of Community of Hope International (CoHI), and Andy Nodine, assistant facilitator, will give a presentation on Community of Hope. Pam will talk about how we apply the Benedictine Rule of Life on which CoHI is based, and Andy will explain the mission of CoHI, the ministry of the lay chaplains, and the opportunity for any who are called, to become lay chaplains. We look forward to talking with you!
Sunday, May 23rd is Graduate Sunday! Our high school graduates will receive their Bibles and we will be offering prayers for all graduates, both high school & college, during the 10:00 am worship service.
