St. Laurent Parish (CTK Sister Parish)
-
The foundation of this partnership is prayer, a prayerful connection with our sisters and brothers at St. Laurent. The annual Spiritual Adoption Program, with the distribution of photos of the children of St. Laurent, has strengthened our spiritual connection by encouraging daily prayer for one another. The Nutritious Feeding Program provides hot lunches to the school children enabling them to be better learners. Our provision of food encourages attendance and instills in the children and teachers awareness of our love and care. The mission of the High School Scholarship Program is to improve the lives of the youth of St. Laurent by enabling them to continue their education. Education is the key to progress for the people of Haiti, especially the rising generation. We will reach out to our Haitian sisters and brothers of St. Laurent Parish and the mission chapels in Déclin and Sedren with blessings and support spiritually, physically, and financially. Through the power of prayer, our communities will become one as Jesus intended.

Our Lady of the Visitation Parish (STB Sister Parish)
-
We provide financial support to our sister parish, Our Lady of the Visitation in Gonaives. Our main focus is providing a daily lunch for the students so that they are not only fed one main healthy meal each day but also educated in hopes of one day improving their lives. The parish has begun an endowment fund to help support the children of Haiti as well as the World's poor through the Catholic Community Foundation of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. For more information about this endowment, or to contribute, please click here.

Prayer for Our Sister Parishes
When I wake Lord remind me of the poor
The poor who need my help
When I eat Lord remind me of the poor
The poor who have insufficient food, shelter and clothing
When I drive Lord remind me of the poor
The poor who must walk for hours to worship You
When I work Lord remind me of the poor
The poor who must toil for less than a living wage
When I play Lord remind me of the poor
The poor who take joy in small pleasures I take for granted
When I breathe Lord remind me of the poor
The poor who will die without someone to help
The poor who I must help,
The poor who belong to You
The poor who are our brothers and sisters
The poor of St. Laurent
Amen.
