Haiti Pax Christi

Haiti Pax Christi was formed following the devastating Earthquake of 2010 to provide help and relief to the people impacted in Haiti. We continue to provide support to the Haiti people with our annual Lenten Cup Campaign. Additionally, we coordinate Student Sponsorships and support ongoing projects via our General Haiti Fund.

Lenten Cup Collection

Each year we collect donations during our Lenten Cup Project. Your spare change and other generous donations allow us to partner collaboratively with From Here to Haiti, a non-profit organization dedicated to continuing repairs of Catholic Churches and schools.


This year’s Lenten Cup Campaign will benefit St. Joseph the Worker in Riviere Salee, and helping Fr. Louis Merosne build schools for Haitian students. (see photo on right and more images below).


To donate, simply pick up a Haiti Envelope or Cup after Mass during Lent. Prayerfully discern what you can give, or collect your spare change. Then return them to the parish when Easter arrives! Envelopes can be placed into the offertory baskets during the collection. If writing a check, please write "Haiti Pax Christi" in the memo section. You can also donate online While our main fundraising effort takes place during Lent, you can also contribute throughout the year to support ongoing projects.

Your Support has made projects like these possible

  • A new roof for St. Gregory in Mendes
  • A new roof for St. John Baptise in Pascal
  • A new parish for St. Michael the Archangel in Pigny
  • A new chapel for the community of Joly
  • A new roof for St. Joseph’s Church in L’Aisle
  • A new parish for the parishioners in Cocoye du Chene

...and a lot more!

2024 Haiti Lenten Cup Campaign
Tom Morton
February 16, 2024

This year’s Lenten Cup Campaign will benefit St. Joseph the Worker in Riviere Salee, and helping Fr. Louis Merosne build schools for Haitian students (see Fr. Merosne's video next).

St. Joseph the Worker in Riviere Salee was founded in 2019, and is located 56 miles west of Miragoane. Their priest, Father Jean Keder Charles, needs help to supply a roof and to finish the walls. Your 2024 contributions will supply both! The faithful congregation of St. Joseph will provide labor, transport, and some of the building materials. The cost to complete the roof and walls is estimated to be around $10,000.

Any remaining funds collected will help build a school for Haitian students, with the help of an organization called Mission to the Beloved, run by Fr. Louis Merosne, pastor of the Cathedral of St. Anne in Anse au Veau. Fr. Merosne’s mission is to change Haiti one student at a time by giving them a solid, Catholic education. Fr. Merosne currently utilizes chapels as classrooms, but is quickly outgrowing the space, and is beginning to build stand-alone schools as well as houses for the teachers.

Thank you for your continued support and generosity!

Student Sponsorships

Following the first Mission Trip to Anse au Veau, Haiti in 2010, a student sponsorship program was initiated for some of the poorest of the poor so they could receive an education at St. Joseph’s School, a Salesian Sisters elementary school in that community. These children would otherwise have no opportunity for an education.


Since that time, many fortunate children have been supported through their elementary years because of the faithful & generous parishioners at Pax Christi. Sister Marie Charitable has led St. Joseph’s School for a number of years and is beyond grateful for all the students being sponsored. There is always a need for more student sponsorships.


Your sponsorship of $200 a year provides a student with books, tuition, a uniform, and one meal a day. This is often the only meal these children will receive. The school year begins in September; sponsorships received will go toward the upcoming school year.
