Ministry Background:
Partners with Haiti, A Ministry of St. Paul’s Catholic Church, established a
sister parish relationship with St. Isidore Catholic Church, on La Gonave, Haiti
in 1999. Since then, exchange visits by the pastors have been made, over 50
parishioners from St. Paul’s Parish have visited St. Isidore’s parishioners, and
several medical missions have been completed at the parish’s chapel in Plen
Mapou, which is in the mountainous area north of the parish. The long-term goal
for the medical aspect of the program is to help the community to have ongoing
health care. The education of local Haitians to provide health care for Plen
Mapou is an essential aspect of the program.
