Pere Albert Remembered
For many years the cornerstone of Cherident, Pere Albert passed away in 2005. His legacy lives on in the creation of HHP and the Pere Albert Memorial Medical Clinic.
Until his death in mid-2005, Pere Jean-Wifrid Albert shepherded his Episcopal flock across the sprawling, remote mountainous Grande Colline region in southwestern Haiti. During his twenty years in the mountains, Pere Albert was the ultimate visionary. A man of God and tireless servant, in the truest sense a “father” to thousands. His goal? To give village families reason to stay in mountains, rather than move to the crime- and unemployment-ridden capital city of Port-au-Prince. To allow, as he would often say, the chance for people to “live with dignity.”
His parish was remote. He lacked much access to phones, faxes, or the Internet. But through his strong, dynamic personality and unwavering conviction, Pere Albert attracted private capital and volunteers from the United States. Because of him, Grande Colline saw the development of dozens of school buildings bursting with over 13,000 willing learners, a vocational school, farming cooperatives, organized Christian musical groups, solar power, and more.
Across the U.S., you’ll find hundreds — perhaps thousands — of people who can tell you about Pere Albert. These are people who annually support the school children, or the farming co-ops, and now improved health care, for the people Pere Albert loved.
