BISHOP DIMARZIO AND AUXILIARY BISHOP EMERITUS SANSARICQ ISSUE JOINT STATEMENT ON THE SITUATION IN HAITI

 

The Most Reverend Nicholas DiMarzio, Bishop of Brooklyn, and Guy Sansaricq, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus, today have released the following statement regarding the situation in Haiti:

 

“Today we unite in prayer with our brothers and sisters in Haiti. The assassination of President Jovenel Moïse has sent shockwaves throughout the world and threatens to further escalate the turmoil that has plagued Haiti for some time now. 

 

We join with the many Haitian American Catholics who call our Diocese in Brooklyn and Queens home in praying that calm and peace will win out during this distressing time. We know the uncertainty of what may happen in their ancestral homeland is weighing heavy on their hearts and minds. We ask the Lord to bring them comfort during this difficult time.”

Creole Translation:
Pandan jou sa yo, nou ini nou nan lapriyè avek tout frè ak sè nou yo an Ayiti, e nap swete ki soley and a fanmi prezidansyel la, e a tout pep Ayisyen-an ki an dey. Asasina prezidan Jovenel Moise se yon gwo chok pou tout mond lan, epi li kapab ogmante pi plis soufrans pep Ayisyen an ki depi kek tan ap viv nan yon sitiyasyon malouk.
Ansanm ak tout katolik Ayisyen-Ameriken ki nan dyosez Brooklyn ak Queens, mwen mete mwen nan lapriyè pou lapè ak sekirite rive tabli nan Peyi a.
Nou konnen anpil Ayisyen ap viv nan kè sere  epi yon genyen gwo kè sote sou sa ki kapab rive sou tè zanzet yo.
Nou mande Bondye pou li ba yo rekonfò nan moman difisil sa yap viv la.
