In January, a team of medical professionals from St. Peter’s, a Passionist parish in Greenville, NC traveled to Haiti in the aftermath of the earthquake to assist Fr. Rick Frechette in aiding the many people who were injured. Fr. Rick Frechette is a Passionist priest and doctor who ministers to the poorest and most vulnerable of Haiti’s people, its children.

Doctors from St. Peter’s help Fr. Rick

Posted on January 29, 2010 by

Today, our parish sent 8 doctors, 2 operating room registered nurses and an assistant for Rick’s St. Damien’s Hospital for children in Port-au-Prince. Dr.Greg Murphy organized the medical professionals. Six of whom are among our loyal parishioners. We are deeply touched by their generosity to our Passionist Mission. They are slated to be there for close to two weeks. They flew out of Greenville yesterday with all sorts of supplies. Fr. Rick said that these doctors, especially the surgeons, will be of great assistance to the suffering people there. Bishop Burbidge of Raleigh came at noon to commission them as Missionaries from our Passionist parish to the Passionist Mission in Haiti. We presented each one with a cross. Bishop spoke of what a great honor this was for the Church of Raleigh to have these men responding to the suffering Christ in Haiti. I ask you to pray for them and their safety and their families here.

Fr. Paul Wierichs and the Passionists at Our Lady of Florida hosted the doctors and medical team from St. Peter’s last night. They picked them up at the airport, gave them rooms for the evening then had breakfast with them and then drove them up to the airport in Port St. Lucy for the trip to Haiti.

Fr. Rick will meet them at the Port-au-Prince Airport today. I am so proud to be Pastor of such a loving parish.
In Christ,
Justin Kerber, C.P.
