‘Pa gen tankou lakay!’
For 30 years, community members of Notre Dame Catholic Mission celebrate ‘there’s no place like home’
FORT PIERCE | “Bonjour!” was Bishop Gerald M. Barbarito’s friendly greeting to the faithful of Notre Dame Catholic Church who gathered Aug. 10 to mark the 30th anniversary as a community of faith mostly populated by people of Haitian background. The Mass was celebrated in English and Creole as the solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mission parish’s patronal feast.
Joined by Father Yves Geffrard, mission administrator, Father Rick George, pastor of St. Anastasia Parish, and Father Roustaveg Gerome, who is visiting from Haiti, the bishop said how pleased he was to commemorate Notre Dame’s legacy of ministry.
