Established over 35 years ago, The Together with Haiti ministry is committed to supporting our parish covenant with our twinned parish, St. Claire’s in Dessalines, and the Missionaries of La Salette in Haiti. This solidarity-based partnership is built upon mutual respect and equality, fostered through prayer and communication.
Our ministry funds critical needs as identified by our partners.
