LET THE WATER FLOW This is the theme of the 2021 Fête for Haiti, the annual fundraiser to support St. William’s twin parish in Haiti. Presented by Helping Hugs, Inc., the October 23rd event features an outstanding meal catered by Tom Delaney, live and silent auctions. Money raised will finance medical care, infrastructure projects, education, and, most importantly, clean water. As a source of good health and the foundation of community development, clean water is a priority. If people have an immediate source of water, they no longer have to carry it long distances, leaving them free to work or go to school instead. Generous donors of Helping Hugs have enabled the digging of the first well in 2021. A second well is in the planning stages. Your participation in the fundraiser is invited and greatly appreciated. Tickets can be purchased after weekend masses at St. William and at helpinghugsinc.org.
