In the wake of the earthquake in Haití, the Vincentian Family and the people with whom they serve and and live are enduring another trial: this time in Chile. We have not heard much, but we have the following news through the C.M. province’s Facebook presence, suggesting things are stable. There are two entries, one from early in the morning and an afternoon update.

My spanish is just in the learning stages. However, I am supremely happy to have a connection and know what is happening. Thank you for the link!
Does any one besides me wonder what in the world is going on with planet earth: earthquakes in Haiti, Japan, and now Chile of large richter sizes…is the earth being reborn? Or is it falling to pieces? gh
We live on a “live” planet- not a solid thing that doesn’t move or change.
Chile seems to have been better prepared for earthquakes than Haiti, unfortunately. Also it happened off the coast under water.
