Project
Haiti Dinner
Fall 2010
In 1994, Saint Alphonsus became aware of a great need in poverty-stricken
Haiti. Two Catholic priests had founded a hospital called St. Damien Hospital,
and an orphanage named Our Little Brothers and Sisters, to care for the many
abandoned children who are dying from AIDS in Haiti. It is an island of hope
in a sea of despair. For ticket information, please call 208-367-3997.
