I recently met up with Father Glenn Meaux in central Haiti. After a whirlwind tour of the housing, water and education projects we’re supporting this year, I sat down for a final chat with this compassionate priest from Louisiana who has spent the last 25 years running the Kobonal Haiti Mission.
I’d asked Fr. Meaux a lot of questions about himself. Now he wanted to tell me about Pope Francis.
“The whole dimension of the Church is changing,” he said of the Holy Father’s vision. “This will be a freeing atmosphere for the people in poor countries, who’ve been oppressed for so long, to be liberated from their poverty…With the blessing and inspiration of Pope Francis, this Mission will grow in leaps and bounds.”
