Haiti Mission

 Beneficiary School in Haiti

Our Lady of Perpetual Help School
Baudin, HT 3100
Port-de-Paix, HAITI (WI)

Our Lady of the Pines Parish in Nevis began a educational program with Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Baudin, Haiti, in the spring of 2000. This program was arranged through the Parish Twinning Program of the Americas in Nashville, TN. St. Theodore's of Tarsus in Laporte and St. Mary's of Two Inlets, joined our project and the program became known as the Haiti Godchild Project of MN.

A Haiti Mission Committee was established that worked with Fr. Nicholas Clerveau and helped in the education of Our Lady of Perpetual Help primary school. We initially funded school fees, lunches and generators for electricity. Later, financial assistance was given to develop a secondary school. This school opened in 2005. Additional classes have been added each year. In 2011-12, the final Grade 13 classroom was completed.

February 2023, Bishop Cozzens appointed Chad Ryan, the Finance Officer of the Diocese of Crookston, to audit our Haiti Mission programs to ensure we follow “best practices,” have accountability and transparency, and comply with IRS requirements.
