Packed pews, rollicking singing and emotional devotions have marked Lent worship services at Notre Dame d'Haiti, the Catholic church at the heart of the largest Haitian diaspora in the United States.

There was a moment of silence Wednesday afternoon at Notre Dame d’Haiti Catholic Church in the heart of Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood. It was in memory of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse. A squad of gunmen pretending to be U.S. agents assassinated him about 1 a.m. Wednesday at his home in Haiti.
