Pourcine-Pic Makaya – “The end of the first term at the parish nursery and primary school in Pourcine-Pic Makaya is approaching, and the students are excited about the upcoming Christmas holidays. We will begin on Saturday, December 20, with the traditional celebration for nursery and primary school students. In addition to the religious festivities, we will experience moments of community and fellowship with all the elderly, with the children born in 2025 and their mothers, and we will visit the seriously ill members of the community in their homes.” This is what Father Massimo Miraglio, parish priest of the parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, in the rural community of Pourcine-Pic Makaya said, who shared the “Christmas program” of the community.”
Despite the severe humanitarian crisis that continues to claim lives, despite the gangs looting and burning homes, destroying neighborhoods, and terrorizing the population, the small community of Pourcine remains steadfast in its faith. According to the Camillian missionary, prayer meetings with various groups will begin in the village on Saturday, December 20. A vigil for peace in Haiti and throughout the world will be held on December 31. Finally, on January 1, 2026, a Eucharistic celebration will be held to commemorate the island’s independence from France on January 1, 1804. Haiti became the first free state ruled by former slaves and the second independent republic in the Americas after the United States.
