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. Our program is two-fold. In addition to our annual Lenten Cup Campaign, we also coordinate Student Sponsorships for children in need.
As it is written,
“He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.”
1 Corinthians 9:9

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 Flora 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 $180 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.
Lenten Cup Collection
Each year we collect donations during Lent 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.
Hurricane Matthew once again ravaged this already poor and struggling country, and our brothers and sisters there continue to need our help. Your Haiti Pax Christi Lenten Cup Collections have supported the projects featured here, and more!
To donate, simply pick up a Haiti Cup after Mass during Lent and fill it with any spare change you collect. Then return them to the parish when Easter arrives! You can also write a check to Pax Christi Catholic Church, with "Haiti Pax Christi" in the memo line.
Volunteer
Haiti Pax Christi is always in need of volunteers in addition to donors, to assist with Student Sponsorships and the Lenten Cup Collections. If you feel the Holy Spirit calling you to become involved in this mission, the duties are light and the rewards are great!
Your Support has made projects like these possible
