Donation List
 

In 2003, St. Michael Parish began the Haiti Twinning Ministry. When forming this ministry, we had our mind, heart, and soul focused on relationships, respect, and responsibility.  Over the years, members of our congregation have traveled to Haiti for service projects, mission trips, and pilgrimages to serve and build relationships with the people of Dos Palais.

Our twinning relationship has a deep impact on us and the people of the village.  The bond between us is rooted in love and mutual respect.  We take care of each other.  The Haiti Rummage Sale is a fruit of our twinning ministry's bond, and we created it to raise money for our sisters and brothers in Dos Palais.  Since our first sale, we have donated all proceeds directly to Dos Palais, amounting to over $250,000 for the village over the last 17 Rummage Sales.


Ways In Which Our Twinning Relationship Has Supported Our Sisters and Brothers in Haiti
 

• Building a New Church (St. Jean Baptiste in Dos Palais)
• Building a New School (St. Marc's School)
• Building a Local Health Clinic
• Educational Support
• Water Distribution
• Community Development
• Personal Health Awareness
