This has been a roller-coaster kind of week. Met with a new friend and supporter who has agreed to sponsor our vocational training center; went to Port-au-Prince to celebrate Paige's birthday and to meet with four other non-profits in a new initiative to address the AIDS pandemic in Haiti [this is spearheaded by Cross International]; spoke with a deacon and his wife who are interested in joining our team here in Cayes; spent a lot of time preparing reports for my trip to the states which starts tomorrow. I'll be in Ft. Lauderdale, FL for one evening, Greensboro, NC for a week and Ridgewood, NJ for another. Will be back on the 14th of April and hopefully get back in the groove. So, thank you for your patience. Wish me well in my travels and success in my fundraising efforts.
Father Charlie is heading to the states as well to addresss a couple of health issues. Please keep him in your prayers so that he can make a full recovery. Be assured of our prayers of gratitude for your spiritual and financial support of the children.
Father Marc

Update
Leaving for Citrus Springs this morning. Will be preaching at St Elizabeth Ann Seton Church this weekend and seeing old friends. Will head to Ft Lauderdale on Monday for an early Tuesday flight back home.
Was in Eden, WI last weekend. As expected, the weather was frigid but the hospitality was very warm. Special thanks to Pat, Sandy and Father Charlie for coming out to Milwaukee to pick me up (and bringing me a warm coat) and to Sandy and her husband, Jerry, for driving me back there very early Monday morning. The ongoing generosity of Shepherd of the Hills' parish is very gratifying and encouraging.
Upon arrival (and defrosting) in the Sunshine State, I had the opportunity to address the Council of Catholic Women at St Thomas Aquinas Church. They've been long-time supporters and their help is much appreciated. I met with Father John McCormick, Director of the Orlando Diocesan Office of the Propagation of the Faith, and Dr. Lynne Nasrallah, board member of Food For The Poor.
Check in again after the 28th when I'll be home and have photos to post. God bless!
