Immaculate Conception Church

Haiti Twin Parish

The Haiti Committee of Immaculate Conception Parish facilitates our relationship with our twin parish,

St. Francis Xavier, in Fond des Blancs, Haiti. Fond des Blancs is a rural, farming community located in

the southern part of Haiti, about a five-hour drive from Port-au-Prince.

Our twin parish has asked us for financial help to support their school. Our contributions help to pay teacher salaries and educational expenses. Our funds support the main school in Fond des Blancs and

18 chapel schools in the 25 square-mile mountainous areas surrounding Fond des Blancs. The school in Fond des Blancs has kindergarten through 10th grades. The smaller chapel schools are primary schools only.  If students continue their education they attend the high school portion of St. Francis Xavier in

Fond des Blancs. Only a small percentage of primary school students go on to high school.
