Haiti Committee
Our Mission
The Haiti Committee works in solidarity with Sts. Peter and Paul, Palmyra, VA, and St. Rose of Lima, Freehold, NJ, to foster the twinning relationship with our twin parish in Fond Pierre, Haiti, through work projects, visits, and prayer.
Our diocesan twinning program enables individuals and parish communities to encounter Christ in the impoverished people and land of Haiti. We invite you to explore this site to learn more about the people of our twin parish in Fond Pierre and what you can do to help.
Current Projects - January 2012
Haiti Medicine Collection: In order to prepare for the Rockbridge-Haiti Medical Alliance’s Mission trip to Fond Pierre in April 2012, we are asking for donations of medicine during December and January. The list of medicines needed include: Tylenol; Ibuprofen; Triple Antibiotic Cream; Benadryl; Claritin; Imodium; Bactine; Tums; Pepto Bismal (tablets); Hydrocortisone Cream; Preparation H; gauze pads; Gauze bandages; etc. Most of these items will be carried by the missioners in their luggage, so please no large containers of liquids. No out-of-date medicines can be accepted and RHMA prefers expiration dates at least until the end of 2012 to get through customs. If you have any questions, please contact Craig Campbell or Patricia Powell at 540-291-3658 or Dr. Kerschl at RockbridgeHaiti@gmail.com. Your help in making this mission trip a huge success is greatly appreciated.
