Wilner “Rodny” Alcide
Hometown: Cerca-la-Source, Haiti
Province: Canada
Rodny, 26, received a bachelor’s in education from the Université Publique du Centre. He was a guitarist at St. Michel Archange Parish in Saltadère, Haiti. The Spiritual Exercises sparked his desire to follow Jesus in the manner of St. Ignatius, and he was inspired by the simplicity and humility of some of the Jesuits he met in 2018, including Fr. Godefroy Midy, SJ. Last year, Rodny served at a L’Arche community near Port-au-Prince as a Jesuit candidate. Playing the guitar is his passion.
