Haiti Twinning Ministry – Mission Statement
The St. Therese Haiti Twinning Ministry supports a Haitian elementary school by providing financial and educational assistance for the students, teachers, and staff. This gives St. Therese the opportunity to share our blessings with those less fortunate. Educating and supporting the children of Haiti is the only way to, eventually, end the cycles of poverty, illiteracy and violence that plague this country.

History: St Therese Catholic Church of Gloucester VA paired with St. Joseph Elementary School in Los-Abeilles, in the Hinche diocese, Haiti.
