Manje! Gala 2011

Sponsor a Haitian Child in 2011
 The Haiti Committee continues its sponsorship drive for our students at Carissade School. For only $150 over one year, your sponsorship will provide student supplies, help pay for teachers salaries, and offer a hearty lunch--usually the only nutritious meal eaten each day. Please give prayerful consideration to providing help to our twin parish.
How to Donate

About Us
The Haiti Committee of the Cathedral and St. Bridget parishes oversees our twinning relationship with the Catholic Community of Carissade in Haiti (a mission chapel of Sacred Heart Parish, Hinche). Together we have helped the people of Carissade build a church, a school, a corn mill, two wells and a cafeteria.
In 2009, we opened a health clinic at the school and we provide financial support for medical supplies and the nurse who operates the clinic five days a week. We fund a school lunch program for 400 children who might otherwise go hungry and we pay the salaries for eight teachers and a principal at the school. We support a Sewing Certificate program which will enable graduates to obtain work as seamstresses and tailors. We have set up a scholarship program for eight students to advance to a secondary education at St. Martin's in Hinche. In the years ahead, we hope to collaborate with the community on sustainable economic development.
