Around 9:30 AM. The voice on the other end of the phone - my cousin Gloria. I could tell by her voice that something was up. Her news which she could finally divulge was about to explode into my day setting it into a wave of ecstatic emotion! SHARING in another's GLORY is the BEST feeling there is! Your spirit is in orbit!!
Congratulations Gloria!
We are SO proud of you! Well deserved!

Hesburgh Library Tip & Clouds
by Pascal Calarco ~Used with permission
Last October my cousin Pascal "wrote a grant proposal to the in-house grant program....at the Hesburgh Libraries at Notre Dame, which provides funding for research in librarianship for its library faculty." In it he "proposed to study and contrast the formal and informal education of systems librarians in the United States and Canada with those of China."
You can read the rest of it HERE ~ Pascal's Place on Wordpress. It's very interesting and he'll be documenting and sharing his thoughts on his blog as much as he can during this trip. Stone Parliament of Art plans to follow Pascal in China!We wish him a safe and successful venture!

** We also think that Pascal is a pretty good photographer and hope to see some of his shots of China when he returns!

News With Heartfelt Reservation.
I am writing this post with reservation. Our family can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Fr. Joseph has been located but many families have still not heard about their loved ones that are still missing or they are dealing with the aftermath of injuries - mentally and physcially. Our thoughts, prayers and continued support goes out to them.
The following is an email from a cousin.
"via a third party report - my cousin heard from my aunt yesterday and confirmed he's ok (out of water when they last spoke to him) and that the seminary was still standing (he built it, so he must have done it right!) - he's in Croix des Bouquet, which is outside of Port au Prince - but my worry is that hungry people might come to the compound. I feel better knowing that his brother/sister are on their way - they've volunteered there many times before and know where to go. I wish I was down there - I know it sounds crazy, but it feels awful seeing all that chaos and being helpless to lend a hand. I will keep you posted on any more news as I get it."
Theres'a a feeling of helplessness among many at this time of need and all we can do is donate money and pray for the people of Haiti. Many of us wish we could go and help 'hand's on' but our desires are not always possible. With the turmoil that exists I hope for more controlled security so people can receive the food, water and help that they so desperately need.
Interesting fact: Croix-des-Bouquets is a city in the Ouest Department of Haiti. It is located 12.9 kilometers (8 miles) to the northeast of Haiti's capital city, Port-au-Prince. Originally located on the shore, it was relocated inland after the 1770 Port-au-Prince earthquake.
We've done a little research and found beautiful art work from Croix-des-Bouquets. FIRE IRON
ART. You may like to check it out HERE. Slide show seen HERE.
The site has this notice on it:
Haitian Relief Notice!
Effective immediately proceeds from all BRANDAID Project sales will be used to support Haitian relief efforts!
