We continually strengthen and build a relationship with our twin parish of St. Michael the Archangel in Coq Chante, Haiti. We work towards supporting health care, education, water, sanitation, farm animal and other projects at our twin parish.
Our goal is to involve the parishioners of St. George in the Haiti Mission as much as possible. Throughout the year, we sponsor fund raising activities, collect items to ship to Haiti, and support dental and medical missions. We also plan visits to the parish to offer our assistance with local projects.

MISSION UPDATE – OCTOBER 2024
St. George's twinning with St. Michael the Archangel parish in Coq Chante, Haiti will continue into the future.

The Haiti Committee looks forward to growing our Haiti Ministry with the parishioners of Immaculate Conception.
The medical clinic at Coq Chante continues to operate successfully providing critical healthcare to the people of the area. The medical clinic is staffed by one doctor, two nurses, one pharmacy worker and one healthcare aide.
A five-day dental clinic was recently completed at our twin Haitian parish during September 2025. We plan on doing another dental clinic during the first few months of 2025.
