Did you know?

In 2003, St. Ann’s Parish made a Twinning Commitment with Notre Dame du Perpetual Secours in Dubuisson,  Haiti. A School Scholarship program was initiated.

• Today, our school educates 280 students in 8 classrooms Pre K through 6th Grade.
• All of our teachers are Certified or in the process of completing Certification.
• Our school provides clean water and a hot meal for all students;   for some, their only meal of the day.
• We feel that education is one of the most effective ways of getting Haiti out of its economic stagnation.
• $150 will cover the cost for 1 student for 1 year.

$150 will help support a child’s education and faith community for a year.  Look for a donation envelope located on the Haiti bulletin board next to the church office door.

A message from the Haiti Ministry

Dear parishioners of St. Ann’s,

The Haiti ministry here is gearing up for our annual fundraiser for our twinning parish in Dubuisson, Haiti.  We anticipate a budget of $39, 282.00 for the 26-27 school year.  Despite the ongoing unrest and food scarcity in Haiti, the preK-6th grade School of the Priestly Good Shepherd, continues to provide education for the students of the surrounding villages.  Here is part of the update the committee received from the new pastor, Fr. Clarck de la Cruz.

            Happy New Year 2026.  I would like to visit you, unfortunately I have no current US Visa. The primary school that you help is going well.  You give support to 10 teachers salaries, 3 cooks prepare for the children and you provide the funds for the fuel and market.  You gave money for helping displaced people. With this aid I helped many youth and adults to eat during many weeks. Many thanks to you, merci beaucoup. God bless the parish of St. Ann’s for the prayers, help, and solidarity.

We need your financial gifts to continue supporting this mission.  Please consider giving whatever you can.  A $10 donation can provide books for one student for the year, and just $150 will support the educational costs for the entire year for one student! 

You can pick up envelopes at church for your donation, or simply use the QR code above to use ParishSoft Giving.  Please be sure to write “Haiti Fund” in the memo.

Sincerely,

St. Ann’s Haiti Ministry
