When Deacon Tim Murphy of Carroll heard about the earthquake in Haiti, he said, “What next?”
Having visited St. Lawrence’s sister parish in Haiti twice, the deacon was well aware of the Caribbean country’s struggles even before this recent devastation.

“Our parish is about 100 miles from Port-au-Prince,” said Deacon Murphy, who feels such strong ties with the parish there that he often uses the terms “my parish” or “our parish.”
St. Lawrence Parish in Carroll has participated in the twin parish project with Haiti for about 20 years. About 10 years ago the deacon took a special interest in the project and has worked hard to establish a solid connection with the parish leaders in Haiti. MORE
