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.

Camp Wingmann takes flight to summer of fun
As we look forward to another fine year at Camp Wingmann, I wanted to report on what has been going on here. 2009 was another great year for Camp Wingmann. We had 390 campers attend summer camp, which is the most we’ve had since the camp was reestablished. Our Bible theme was “Choose this day whom you will serve…but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!” (Joshua 24:15) We had a great time. Campers ate our delicious home cooked meals prepared by Mrs. Joan Yates, known around camp as “Mama Joanie”, and her kitchen staff. They went swimming and kayaking in beautiful Trout Lake, worshipped and sang fun songs in the chapel accompanied by guitar, piano, bass guitar and percussion. We played all kinds of sports and games.
Honduras Commission builds North-South ties
The first two Saturdays in March, the diocesan Honduras Commission held a GO! Conference in the north and south limits of the diocese in order to support the diocesan resolution that called for parishes to undertake short-term mission trips.
The conference was designed to show that it is possible for any parish to do effective mission ministry in Honduras.
The Honduras Commission exists to support mission and ministry between the Diocese of Central Florida and the Diocese of Honduras. We currently do that most actively through the support and development of parish-to-parish relationships and short term missions.
