A few days of not having untility service due to the blizzard made people here frantic. Can you imagine having your house fall down around you and not knowing the next time you are going to be shook up again?
I got a letter today from my dear friend Sr. Justine explaining all the damage to St. John Villa Academy.
Here's some of the photos:
Update: Baptistine Sisters in Chile
The following is from Sr John Marie White, CSJB. who has been missioned in Chile for over 35 years.
" Please continue to pray for Chile. Many parts of the country do not exist anymore. They have been wiped away: people, buildings, beaches etc. We are all ok physically but very much affected by this terrible experience. Our school here in Santiago was badly hit and so we cannot begin school on the 8th as was planned. There was structural damage and it is not safe to have the students around. And besides they are all suffering from some degree of trauma, so it's better that they are with their families a little longer. This unexpected huge happening is a financial setback. Any donation, no matter how small, will be gratefully accepted.
Please give my love and thanks to the Sisters and all who have expressed their concern and support. God Bless."
All donations should be sent directly to the Vice-Province of Chile with checks made out to: Sisters of Saint John the Baptist. Mail to:
