Advent Social Organizers with Fr. Daly Organizers, Theresa Miller and Barbara Byars pose with graphic artist Ann Griffin and Pastor, Fr. Daly at the annual Women’s Advent Social at Christ the King Parish Center in Tampa, FL Nov. 27, 2005.

It was a lovely evening filled with prayer, good food and fellowship. Over 200 women attended from all over the diocese.

Fr. Desinard Jean made the trip from Port-au-Prince to be with us and to share the problems facing him and the people of Haiti. Fr. Jean is in charge of all the Catholic Radio Stations in Haiti. He resides in Port-au-Prince, near the slums where much of the violence originates.

We were pleased that we raised enough money to give Fr. Jean a check for Radio Soleil, his radio ministry, and raised money to help pay some of the tuition of Fr. Jean’s needy children.
