Bishop Pierre-André Dumas Injured in Explosion

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

On February 18, Bishop Pierre-André Dumas of the Diocese of Anse-à-Veau/Miragoâneis (Haiti) was caught in an explosion in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince.  As of February 20 he was reported to be in stable condition. Last September he presided at Solemn Vespers in Old St. Patrick’s Cathedral, New York. The Society of St. Hugh of Cluny co-sponsored that evening’s vespers. We pray for the bishop’s recovery and for the people of Haiti who at ths moment are undergoing such terrible trials.
