BACKGROUND
Monsignor Bryan 0. Walsh was most instrumental in getting Miami and other cities throughout the
United States to open their hearts and homes to the oppressed people living in Cuba. He especially
helped countless Cuban children to escape the communist dictatorship through his pioneering Pedro
Pan (Peter Pan) program by getting hundreds of American families to serve as guardians to these
children. A multitude of Cuban -American families, as well as the Miami community at large, owe
him a debt of gratitude for his humanitarian efforts and tremendous impetus in the growth of this
community.
