When the Passionists arrived in China in 1922 they entered a new world. Here are some of the faces of Shanghai in the 1920s.

A patient with Dengue. He is receiving IV fluids at the clinic as there is insufficient capacity at the hospital.
These photos were taken today at St. Benedict’s, the Passionist sponsored clinic in Tegucigalpa, Honduras where the state of emergency due to the dengue fever epidemic continues. At least 13 people have died and 10,200 others have been hit by the disease. Health Minister Arturo Bendana said that of the total reported dengue fever cases, 476 were of the hemorrhagic type. Both staff and patients are grateful for the generosity of our donors who have made it possible for the clinic to provide free medications to those who need them.
Honduran President Porfirio Lobo is leading a nation-wide campaign aimed at eradicating the mosquitos, which are the carriers of the disease. All public offices are clearing areas of still water in their vicinity.

On January 16, Anderson Cooper of CNN reported that thousands of victims of Haiti’s earthquake were being unceremoniously dumped into mass graves in Ti-Tanyen.
Please note that Haitians always show tremendous respect for their dead and that this thoughtless act should not in any way reflect who they are. As of today, Haitians have started the process to provide all the bodies dumped in Ti Tanyen a decent sepulcher. In reality, over 1500 bodies were buried today and the remaining 1000 or so will be buried tomorrow.
After learning of Mr. Cooper’s report, Bishop Pierre André Dumas, Father Rick Frechette and volunteers from Food for the Poor burnt incense, sprinkled holy water on the bodies, recited the rosary of the painful mysteries of Christ’s life, dug mass graves and gave these poor souls a decent Christian burial.
Caution! Graphic photos.
