ROCOR priests in Haiti alive, mission school in Port-au-Prince destroyed – Updated

17/1/2010

New York – The Fund for Assistance is happy to inform our supporters that both ROCOR priests in the Haiti mission and their families are alive.

“They are staying together and sleeping outdoors – afraid of more tremours,” said Matushka Sophia McKenzie who reached Fr. Gregoire Legoute by telephone on Saturday, January 16.

The mission’s main church of Nativity of the Theotokos in Port-au-Prince suffered some damage, but is still standing with its roof intact; the adjoining school belonging to the mission has been destroyed. There is no news of ROCOR parishioners yet.
