Haiti Ministries

Our parish needs to raise $120,000 annually to support the parish, teachers & students of our ministries in Haiti. Funds are raised through parishioner support donations, our individual scholarship support program, and various fundraising activities throughout the year, including an ongoing can drive & the garage sale at this year’s parish festival.

There is a bin outside the barn on Columbus St. to collect cans for donation. (In 2021, we raised $4,500 from donated cans.)

Supporting the Parish of Sts. Simon and Jude in Haiti. Our parish supports over 600 children in the Elementary School as well as serving the basic needs of the parish. This portion of our Haiti ministry requires $43,000 a year. To offer support please consider a gift to our Haiti Twinning program.
