Isaiah 43:19
“See, I am doing something new!
Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
In the wilderness I make a way,
in the wasteland, rivers.”

When you support the fundraisers for our sister parish in Haiti, you give children the gift of hope through education. You give teachers the gift of stable employment. You are giving them an opportunity to spring forth as someone with new knowledge and dreams for the future.

Check out these inspiring stories from people who have done new things during our 23 year relationship with our sister parish Notre Dame de Lourdes:

In Haiti, “Konbit” is used to describe a traditional form of cooperative communal labor whereby able-bodied folk help each other prepare their fields. It is a time for solidarity and cooperation, especially in the face of adversity.  The Haiti committee is adapting the use of the Haitian word Konbit because it’s the closest word our Haitian resources could offer as a translation for the word “potluck”.

On Mission weekend October 22-23, the Haiti Committee invites all parishioners to attend a “Konbit” potluck in the social hall following each mass.  The main dish, coffee and water will be provided.  Attendees are asked to bring a salad, vegetable, or dessert to share. The committee is asking parishioners to RSVP and provide the number of people attending with you, so we have enough food for everyone.  You can RSVP on the parish website https://allsaintscr.com/ under “Upcoming Events”.

Please join us for an update on our sister parish and enjoy a meal and some social time!

Our primary mission in Haiti is education. Along the way, we are also forming disciples.

Thanks to your generous contributions and prayers, we have supported education in Notre Dame de Lourdes for more than 20 years. During that time, an estimated 16,000 children have completed 6th grade education at one of the 24 chapel schools in the villages at our sister parish. Additionally, nearly 100 teachers have enjoyed stable employment and a regular salary.

All of these efforts ultimately form disciples, as the chapel schools incorporate faith studies, and during our visits, we hold teacher formation programs.
