Photos of Port de Paix


This is Father Rams, pastor of St. Louis de Montfort Parish in Port de Paix. He is surrounded with the children. I understand from conversations with others that his church (and rectory) was flooded considerably after the last hurricane. Someone told me up to six feet of water, but I have not spoken to Father Rams to confirm this.
One interesting fact about Father Rams, which I never knew until we visited in April 2008, is that he enjoys watching professional wrestling with the children of his community. Before his television and satellite broke, he was able to pick up wrestling via the satellite connection. It was amazing, all the children knew the wrestlers names and loved to mimic some of their actions.
