OLMC to Rebuild Ti Riviere Quake Damaged Chapels

OLMC is in the process of obtaining estimates to rebuild two and possibly three of the small chapels damaged in the recent earthquake, in our sister parish of Ti Riviere.  Although the main church, school, hospital, and guest house were not damaged in the quake, these chapels are located away from the main town, higher up in the mountains, and because of their poor condition to start with, sustained in some cases the "finishing blow" with the earthquake.  Most if not all of the system of small chapels serve multiple purposes as Church/School/Meeting place, etc.  The teachers at these chapel schools are also supported by OLMC.


This is the location for a the new chapel (and the makeshift temporary quarters) to replace the damaged chapel at "Silegue" 
 

Damaged chapel at "Cholette"...which has now become an outdoor Church.



This is the damaged chapel at "Bezin".  You can see why the people are afraid to go inside.
