MIAMI - Archbishop Thomas Wenski celebrated Mass Feb. 15 at the archdiocesan Pastoral Center with bishops and priests from Haiti, Canada and France, as well as representatives of Adveniat, the German bishops' relief agency. Those present were in Miami for a meeting of PROCHE, the Partnership for the Reconstruction of the Church in Haiti, whose task is to work with the Haitian bishops to rebuild the Catholic facilities - churches, schools, seminaries - that were damaged or destroyed by the Jan. 12, 2010 earthquake.
