Haiti Tragedy - Please help!

I was participating in an all day meeting today when this news item came across:

The archbishop of Port-au-Prince was killed in the devastating earthquake that has demolished the Haitian capital and taken untold lives since striking Tuesday, according to a dispatch from the Vatican.

The body of Msgr. Joseph Serge Miot, 65, was found under the rubble of the archdiocese, and may be one of only hundreds of victims trapped in the ruins of Church buildings on the island.

I was struck that when a horrible tragedy like this occurs, it is often the clergy who coordinate efforts to help the citizens. Losing the servants of the people cannot be helpful and it doesn't sound good for those who would normally be a refuge for those in need.

Please help out any way you can. If you are looking for a way to help, one option is Catholic Relief Services. You can follow their blog and donate if you would like. And keep all of the people in Haiti in your prayers.
