Haiti is facing a deepening crisis as gang violence surges, prompting Pope Leo XIV to make a heartfelt plea for peace during his weekly Angelus.

Haiti’s government announced a three-month state of emergency in the country’s central region in an attempt to improve the situation. Father Louis Merosne, Rector of the Cathedral of Saint Anne in Anse-à-Veaux, Haiti, joins to provide an update on the current situation, discuss the Catholic community’s response, and reflect on the Pope’s message. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
