New York - The Fund for Assistance to ROCOR and the Orthodox Mission in Haiti has launched a new program designed to assist needy families among the members of the mission in Haiti.

The Haiti Orthodox Family Relief Program enables individuals, as well as Orthodox parishes from around the world to provide direct financial support to Haitian Orthodox families and readers through direct cash assistance.

A commitment of $100 /per month for a year will feed, clothe, and provide shelter for a Haitian family.

A commitment of $300 /per month for a year will provide assistance to Orthodox readers in the mission’s seven parishes across the country. Readers hold parishes together and provide members with spiritual aid and comfort, as well as conduct reader services in the absence of a priest.

The mission’s two priests, Fr. Jean Chenier-Dumais and Fr. Gregoire Legoute qualify families for participation and monitor the programs’ success.
