Haiti Mission Ministry

 Mission Statement

The mission of the Haiti Parish Twinning Program is to serve those in need in Haiti by:

• encouraging linkages of Catholic parishes, institutions and individuals in the United States and Canada with parishes and institutions in Haiti
• developing models for parish action
• encouraging prayerful solidarity with our sisters and brothers in Haiti
• providing resources and support in religious, educational, medical, and economic areas
• promoting awareness among Catholics of the injustices present in Haiti and our Gospel call to respond

The Haiti Ministry continues their collaboration with our sister parish, Our Lady of Lourdes, in Grand Bassin and with St. Dominique’s Orphanage and School in Port Au Prince. There has been so much accomplished and there is much to celebrate. The SJB agreement with the Parish Twinning Program of the Americas (PTPA) began in 1985. In honor of our 40th anniversary of Haiti Ministry at SJB, we invite you to join us in making a difference. We ask that you consider a gift of $40 to the Haiti Ministry. A $40 gift can provide food for a starving person for almost three months. It can provide equipment to help young people learn job skills for a summer, or support a larger endeavor like repairs to the school.

There is a Haiti Donation Box in the Narthex where you can drop your gift. Any gift is helpful and all gifts matter. Thank you!

Parish Ministry Leader is Liesl Disch. She can be reached at ldisch3@gmail.com.
