Jacob is a legend in french speaking caribbean and african countries. Some would argue moreso than Bob Marley. That was my dude.

obituary
Bishop Guy Sansaricq Dies

Bishop Guy Sansaricq (1934-2021) was the first Haitian American Bishop in the United States.


Aug 23, 2021

The Diocese of Brooklyn announced this afternoon the passing of the Most Reverend Guy A. Sansaricq, retired Auxiliary Bishop, who has ministered in the Diocese of Brooklyn since 1971.

Bishop Sansaricq died at the rectory at St. Gregory the Great Church in Crown Heights, Brooklyn on Saturday, August 21, 2021, the Diocese of Brooklyn informed. He was 86 years old.

“Bishop Sansaricq was the first Haitian American Bishop in the United States. He was a symbol of the progress of the Haitian people here and, as someone who served as a bishop, gave the Haitian community some recognition and stature as immigrant people, a ministry he served very well,” said the Most Reverend Nicholas DiMarzio, Bishop of Brooklyn.

Bishop Sansaricq was born in Jérémie, Haiti, on October 6, 1934, into a devout Catholic family. At the age of 13, he decided that he wanted to become a priest. He was ordained a Priest on June 29, 1960, for the Diocese of Les Cayes, Haiti.

After a year, Father Sansaricq was assigned to serve as chaplain for Haitian immigrants in the Bahamas, ministering from the Benedictine Priory of St. Francis in Nassau. In seven years in that work, he became aware of the plight of immigrants, and especially undocumented immigrants.

Bishop Sansaricq held numerous curial positions in the Diocese of Brooklyn.

Bishop Sansaricq first served as Parochial Vicar of Sacred Heart, Cambria Heights (1977-1993) in Queens. During that time, he was appointed diocesan coordinator of the Haitian Apostolate. In 1987, he was selected by the U.S. bishops to head the National Haitian Apostolate.

His next post was to serve as the Pastor of St. Jerome, Brooklyn (1993-2007) and on August 22, 2006, he was appointed by His Holiness Pope Benedict as Auxiliary Bishop of Brooklyn. He served as Pastor of St. Gregory the Great, Brooklyn (2007-2011) and as Pastor Emeritus of St. Gregory the Great, Brooklyn (2011-2021).

Bishop Sansaricq was named a Prelate of Honor by Pope John Paul II in 1999.

The arrangements are as follows:

WAKE:

• Tuesday, August 31, 2021 - 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM, St. Jerome R.C. Church - 2900 Newkirk Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11226

Baltimore opens 1st new Catholic school in about 60 years

Aug. 30, 2021

Youngsters enter the first new Catholic school built in Baltimore in roughly 60 years with a mix of enthusiasm and first-day-back jitters.

BALTIMORE (AP) — The first new Catholic school built in Baltimore in roughly 60 years opened its doors Monday to hundreds of youngsters, who entered the gleaming new building with a mix of enthusiasm and first-day-back jitters.

“Do great, my children!” called Jason Engram as his three children stepped into Mother Mary Lange Catholic School, a state-of-the-art school located on the site where a notoriously rough public housing high-rise once stood.

In a U.S. city steeped in Catholicism like few others, the new 65,000-square-foot (6,000-square meter) building near downtown Baltimore is somewhat of an anomaly in the national education landscape as the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to the shuttering of many Catholic schools.

It’s named after Mother Mary Elizabeth Lange, a Haitian American who started a Catholic school for Black children in 1828 — the first U.S. Catholic school for African American youth. She co-founded the Oblate Sisters of Providence in Baltimore in 1829. The Vatican is reviewing Lange for possible canonization.

Forthcoming—Haiti Fights Back: The Life and Legacy of Charlemagne Péralte


Haiti Fights Back: The Life and Legacy of Charlemagne Péralte (Rutgers Univresity Press) by Yveline Alexis will be on the shelves next month.

Description: Haiti Fights Back: The Life and Legacy of Charlemagne Péralte is the first US scholarly examination of the politician and caco leader (guerrilla fighter) who fought against the US military occupation of Haiti. The occupation lasted close to two decades, from 1915-1934. Alexis argues for the importance of documenting resistance while exploring the occupation’s mechanics and its imperialism. She takes us to Haiti, exploring the sites of what she labels as resistance zones, including Péralte’s hometown of Hinche and the nation’s large port areas–Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haïtien. Alexis offers a new reading of US military archival sources that record Haitian protests as banditry.

This book, and a handful of others are temporarily being offered as free e-books from the publisher. They ask for email addy, and of course I used a burner.

I dj'd a party on Thursday night (great crowd) over in south ozone queens.

Shorty was turning 30 so she wanted a mix of her heritages music (konpa) and her American side for sort of a clachet party

My ass stole mad songs off this mix and I built a playlist from there off of it.

Haitian American recognized for her philanthropic work

Sept 2021
Riviera Beach, FL — Since 2004, the nonprofit Valley of Love Ministries has been helping to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless and provide physical and spiritual support to the needy in Palm Beach County (PBC), Fla.


And it has done much. The nonprofit started in a small space on Broadway Avenue, moved to a multi-unit complex on Blue Heron Boulevard, and now is in an even-larger space on 45th Street that provides more services, more support, more help. Indeed, she helps more than 300 people a day.
Thanks to those efforts, and much more, the founder will now be recognized.

Marie Antoinette Jean-Pierre Theligene is that person. On September 9, 2021, she will be honored in Karu, Nigeria and will be feted over the course of a 10-day coronation celebration.

“I am very excited about this,” said Mrs. Theligene. “Nobody but God. Really and truly.”

They learned about her work because she had helped a man from Nigeria in 2020. When he returned home, he told his area leaders about his experiences. And who had helped him.

The Esu of Karu, Luka Panya Baba, has conferred the traditional titles of ‘Kpata Biyi’ and ‘Bmazazhi’ of Karu on Haitian- Americans, Raymond Theligene Ray and his wife, Marie Antonette-Jean, respectively.

The title Kpata Biyi, conferred on Ray, means defensive shield, which symbolises protection, defence and an unshakable assurance against attack.

The title ‘Bmazazhi’, which was conferred on Antonette-Jean, means a helper of the less privileged, who feels their pains in Gbagyi dialect.

The Esu of Karu, who is also the Chairman of Karu Traditional Council, said the titles were conferred on the couple in recognition of their contributions to the welfare and development of the people.
