Help recovery efforts in Haiti

The Rev. Burnet Cherisol, associate rector at Holy Faith Episcopal Church, Port St. Lucie, is praying hard for Haiti, while working to funnel aid to the earthquake-racked country.

"I saw Haiti, the situation is terrible," Fr, Cherisol wrote to the Diocese of Central Florida's clergy e-mail list Jan. 13, the day after the earthquake. "The country is devastated."

Of special concern to Fr. Cherisol, originally from Haiti, is the fate of students and former colleagues at Institut Mixte Pere de Montfort, the school he helped found in Port au Prince. The school was destroyed in the earthquake, and at least one student was trapped inside, news reports said.
