Since its founding in 1978, PTPA has grown to become the largest, most significant organization of its kind.
Through seeing and touching poverty, U.S. parishes have experienced not only the physical needs, but also the humility, dignity, joy, patience and love of the people themselves and a new awareness of the breadth of the Catholic Church and its mission throughout the world.

Please plan to attend our September Zoom with guests Josh Anderson and Megan Boudreaux, who are affiliated with the Haiti School of Social Work, known in Haiti as Faculté de Travail Social et de Justice Sociale (FTSJS) – a program of the University Episcopale d’ Haiti
Learn about this online college program to provide a professional degree in social work. This relatively new program is accepting applications from students interested in learning the skills and values of social work who upon graduation can work in schools, clinics, and other social programs that work with vulnerable children and families. Students will learn the laws and regulations in Haiti that deal with child abuse, domestic violence, mental health, family life, adoption, orphanages, etc.Some of us may choose to sponsor a student to get this advanced education. I understand that there is a robust job market for graduates of the social work program.
I hope that you will join us!

During the 2022 PTPA National Conference in Nashville, Bishop Spalding spoke from the heart about the profound impact PTPA has had on the Catholic Church in Haiti and Latin America.
“Much as the German industrialist Oskar Schindler, depicted in the movie ‘Schindler’s List’, saved more than a thousand Jewish refugees from the Holocaust, your organization (PTPA) is helping US parishes save poor parishes in Haiti and Latin America by providing the funding that allows them to simply exist. The list of Haitian parishes helped, like the list in the movie, is an ‘absolute good’.
Please know of my continued prayers and support for your mission.”
