Paredon, Haiti, is home to our mission and school, Our Lady of Altagrace. The children in the community need and deserve a solid education. The 260 children we serve live in poverty. Most cannot afford tuition, but obtaining an education is what will help them come out of poverty in early adulthood. Our school provides both a liberal arts base as well as more technical/ skills based education to help the children find a usable trade.

Construction was recently completed on two homes for families in Honduras in dire need. With ongoing challenges caused by two recent tropical storms, increasing crime and corruption and the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to build more homes for vulnerable families is urgent.

The Food Pantry at the St. James Mission in Chicago supplies groceries to those in need. It is especially important to care for those who are homebound, elderly, disabled, or otherwise unable to work. Not only do we meet the needs of the poor through the food pantry, we also foster community relationships and strengthen the resolve of those we serve by building friendships.

Eight seminarians are in need of medical and dental care. They spend their days in service to the community, learning theology, and growing in pastoral care skills. Covering their expenses for healthcare will allow them to focus on growing in the Lord and serving the community’s many needs.

Through an initial grant, women in Gumal, Colombia, are learning to sew and make clothing, handbags, belts, and sandals for themselves and their families. This empowerment program has quickly enhanced the self-esteem of the women participating and raised the potential of developing an enterprise that would further benefit them and the community.

The Mobile Clinic has traveled to some of the poorest areas of Colombia, Honduras, and Haiti. Doctors have seen over 750 patients who otherwise would have no access to medical care. Brother Carlos would like to expand the project by: 1) adding two volunteer medical doctors -- a gynecologist and a pediatrician -- to the team, both of whom are eager to participate in the project; 2) visiting each of the three locations for 10 days to two weeks twice a year to provide more consistency of care. 3) Adding important medical tools, such as an Echocardiogram, Ultrasound system, and digital video scope for gynecological procedures.

We have two missions dedicated to working with Native Americans -- Holy Rosary Indian Mission in Tucker, Mississippi, and Saint Kateri Tekakwitha Parish in Tucson, Arizona. More than 10,000 members of the Choctaw nation live on the Holy Rosary Indian Mission in Tucker, Mississippi, and count on you and Trinity Missions to bring them hope and comfort. In both Mississippi and Arizona, our Trinity Missionaries work to spiritually empower all the people, educating every member of the family and engaging them in a vibrant and welcoming practice of Christian faith.

The elderly priests and Brothers who reside at the Fr. Judge Missionary Cenacle have devoted their lives to serving the poor and Holy Mother Church. These priests and Brothers are familiar with conditions such as unpaved roads and living without air conditioning, but as they age they have health concerns. We need the Body of Christ to join together and support these Missionary Servants in their golden years.

Our school provides a Catholic education for about 260 students, but as with most buildings in the area of Paredon, Haiti, our school facilities need improvement. Helping the Mission improve the quality of infrastructure will help the students better able to focus on learning.

Our growing group of seminarians need some of their basic needs met while they study and go through formation. These needs include: clothing, food, room and board, tuition for seminary, and more. You can help cover the cost of these needs so our future priests and Brothers can focus on their studies and formation.
