Haiti: Holy Innocents’ partnership with Paroisse Saint Matthieu
Contact:
Since 2003, Holy Innocents’ has been in partnership with Paroisse Saint Matthieu and her Priest-In-Charge the Rev. Jean Berthol Phanord through the Episcopal Diocese of Haiti – Partnership Program. Located just outside the city of Leogane, St. Matthieu is the mother church of six mission churches and three schools that serve over 1500 parishioners and between 600 – 700 students. The partnership program is a cooperative relationship of companionship and support. Throughout the years over 150 members of Holy Innocents’ Parish (church and school) have gone on pilgrimages to visit with our sisters and brothers at St. Matthieu and her missions, where in prayer, worship, and fellowship, deep bounds in the Living Body of Christ have been established. As well, generous financial contributions from Holy Innocents’ parishioners, through the Lent Starfish Project and other special contributions, have made possible the funding to help build or reconstruct three church buildings, including the mother church at St. Matthieu, and three schools. Financial contributions from Holy Innocents’ have help build a water purification station at St. Matthieu, and ongoing funding of meal program for the students and St. Matthieu as well as paying wages for teachers the three schools of: St. Matthieu, St. Jean Baptiste, and St. Marguerite.
