At the airport in Port-a-Prince we were met by Saverno Borsa, a
seminary student who is being sponsored in his studies by Gail Goodrich and
Father Gerry Creedon. He was with his
cousin, Réma Larose, who was our driver for the week. They are both from Cavaillon
and were of invaluable assistance to us during our trip.
From St. Anthony were Chris and Henry Gonzalez who are members
of our St. Charles Haiti Committee. Bob
McNichols, Richard’s friend from Roanoke (Our Lady of Nazareth), Pat Newman and
Richard Young completed the group. Chris
and Henry were on their first trip to Haiti, whereas Pat was returning for the
15th time, having been one of the founders of St. Charles’ Haiti program when
Father Tuck was first at St. Charles.
Richard was on his 6th trip and it was the 2nd for Bob.
Without incident we arrived at the rectory in Cavaillon, where
both Fathers Lampy of Cavaillon and Dutel of Gros Marin were waiting for
us. We all drove to Gros Marin where
Chris and Henry were housed for the week and where we had our first delicious Haitian meal.
