CTF-SOS DRS Update – August 4, 2010
Dear Friends of CTF-SOS DRS,
Health and peace. Greetings from Haiti. I just returned from the States. The mission continues…
Here is an update:
Many thanks to one of our newest members, Jared Rottinghaus, for his efforts in Port au Prince with Project Perpetual Help Haiti. Jared’s 3-week presence in the community here was very helpful and came at just the right time! That the bookends of the experience in Haiti were fundraising appeals in Massachusetts and New Jersey was also much appreciated. We need more people in Haiti and elsewhere like you!
Thanks as well to Mark Rosario, another new member, who is helping Dominic Surrao and me with information technology issues and the website.
These last weeks have been busy ones for all of us working with CTF-SOS DRS – in the US and elsewhere.
In the States, we had people making fundraising appeals in 4 different places this last weekend. Many thanks to all of you, including D’Ann, for your efforts. She is busy managing the community in Milwaukee and carrying out many activities related to SOS DRS – particularly arranging for the MCP appeals. It has been a blessing to have Frs. Aloice and Julius [Kenya - both] and Fr. Sylvio [Haiti] for the daily liturgical activities of the community in the US including mass, adoration and praying the world mission rosary.
In Haiti, Theresia and I have been managing the community and along with some Haitian volunteers – especially MarcDaly – and other ex-pats [Jared –US]; [John - Cameroon] working hard on the infrastructure for Project Perpetual Haiti and preparing relief programs. Our first program is Help the Spiritans - an earthquake relief program directed at helping the Congregation of the Holy Spirit rebuild. They were devastated by the disaster and have become collaborators now. It has been a blessing to have Fr. Verdieu [Haiti] along with yours truly for the daily liturgical activities of the community including mass, adoration and praying the world mission rosary.
In Italy the members of CTF Central and our collaborators are moving forward on the Rainbow Study, Stella Polare and the other aspects of Project St. Camillus – including making trips to Aquila; a board meeting or two; planning for a 2011 conference on PTSD, children and disasters; working with Misericordiae, etc.
The project in Chile continues to move forward primarily through the efforts of Sebastian, Patricia and Alicia under the guidance of Fr. Pietro Magliozzi, MI and with the aid of CTF Central and SOS DRS. Among other things we are finalizing the contract for the pre-fabricated-hospital-bed containers and continuing our ministry in Parral and Cauquenes.
In the Philippines, Fr. Sam is still continuing his rehabilitation efforts along with Fr. Meng. Fr. Aris is also helping during his brief stay in the country.
In Kenya, Fr. John Mosoti has moved the pastoral center to another location, and CTF-SOS DRS Kenya has another student in the Camillian CPE program. She may work with Theresia when she returns to her ministry in Kibera. The presence of Fr. Aloice in the US and Fr. Julius (both from Kenya) will hopefully give impetus to our efforts in Kenya.

[Italiano] Oggi comincia l’Avvento. Il Signore viene. Infatti è già arrivato. E per questo siamo grati.
Negli Stati Uniti abbiamo appena celebrato Thanksgiving (il giorno di ringraziamento). A la messa celebriamo l’eucaristia – una parola che viene dalla linga greca che vuol dire “rendere grazie” Sì, abbiamo tanti motivi per essere grati.
Sono grato perché ho appena celebrato sei anni di sacerdozio. Sono stato ordinato il 29 novembre 2003 a la parrocchia St. Mary’s in Augusta, Georgia. E l’indomani – la prima domenica di Avvento – ho presieduto la messa per la prima volta. Per favore, prega per me..

[English] We have begun Advent. The Lord is coming. In fact, He is already here! And for that we are thankful.
In the United States we just celebrated Thanksgving. At mass we celebrate the Eucharist – a word which comes from the Greek word meaning “to give thanks”. Yes, we have many reasons to be thankful.
I am grateful for the fact that I just celebrated 6 years as a priest: I was ordained on November 29th, 2003 at St. Mary’s on the Hill in Augusta, Georiga. And I presided for the first time on the first Sunday of Advent. Please keep me in your prayers.
The mission of CTF-SOS DRS continues thanks to the work of many and the help of our benefactors.
Here is some fresh news about the medical, pastoral and humanitarian response to Typhoon Ketsana in Vietnam [ Ketsana 1, Ketsana 2]. CTF Philippines continues to respond in Marikina [ Ketsana 5] and there emergency project was just approved by the Italian Episcopal Conference thanks to CTF Philippines collaborating with CTF Central and the Camillian NGO Salute e Sviluppo [ Ketsana 6].

CTF Thailand is offering medical and humanitarian support to the people affected by this terrible tragedy whose effects are still being felt. [ Cyclone Nargis 9]
Theresia Sinaga of CTF-SOS DRS Kenya writes about her pastoral experiences in Kibera Slum (Nairobi). The collaboration with the Kenyan Delgation and the Camillian Sisters in Nairobi continues [ Personal Reflections - Theresia]
The Camillians are about to sign an agreement with Caritas Italiana for the Saint Camillus Project, i.e. the collaborative response of CTF Central, SOS DRS , Caritas, Bambin Gesu Hospital and Italian Medical Research among others to the earthquake of April 6 in Abruzzo, Italy.
