Twinning Program - Haiti Solidarity Week

The 18th Annual Haiti Solidarity Week is February 6 - 14. This week gives us the opportunity to celebrate our relationships with the people of Haiti; increase our awareness of the people, culture and issues of Haiti; deepen our commitment to our twinning programs; pray for our brothers and sisters who live there; and advocate here for the changes necessary to bring justice to the people of Haiti. The week also provides an excellent opportunity for parishes and groups to host a program on Haiti and consider entering into a twinning relationship.

Our theme this year is Linking Global Solidarity with Care for God's Creation

The twinning ministry at its core embraces the fullness of the meaning of Global Solidarity.

The Catholic social teaching principle of Caring for God’s Creation is clearly one of the most significant implications of taking seriously Global Solidarity because the Earth’s environment connects the people of the world perhaps more intricately than anything else.  How we all care for our Earth affects us all and our common destiny. 

This year during Haiti Solidarity week let us reflect on how we can answer the challenge of our faith with our sisters and brothers in Haiti as we care for each other through our care of Creation.
