Please join us for this historic moment in the life of PTPA as we introduce you to the newly launched PTPA Members Online Portal. With over a year in development, this new website is the largest collection of parish twinning resources ever assembled. Here you will find many best practice materials, spiritual development resources to prepare for mission, a long list of mission collaborators ready to assist you in your twinning mission, a discussion forum to ask questions and get answers from other parish twins, maps of twinning parishes in the U.S. and Haiti, and much more.

We will give a thorough demonstration of the many functions and resources found on the portal, invite your input for additions for the future and answer your questions about how the portal can support and enhance your parish twinning relationship.

Looking forward to being together virtually!

PTPA Friends,
"If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land" 2 Chronicles 7:14
If ever there was a land in need of healing, it is Haiti right now! This week has been among the most violent and dark times in the nation's history.
Haiti is in need of a miracle. So together, let us humble ourselves, pray and seek the face of Christ, on behalf of Haiti.
PTPA invites everyone to light a candle, symolizing the light of Christ, at 6:30 PM ET this Sunday evening, March 10th, and join us for a Zoom Prayer Service. Fr. Chris Wadelton, pastor of St. Bartholomew Catholic Church in Columbus, IN and twin of St. Anne in Limonade, Haiti will lead us in prayer for peace and healing for Haiti.
Our prayer service will be in English, but if we have several people join us who only speak Creole, we will translate as best we can.

PTPA Friends,
Please join us for our monthly PTPA Zoom Gathering on Tuesday, March 26th at 7:30 ET,
Topic: Solar and Starlink in Haiti
Guest Presenter: Mr. Patrick Eugene, Founder & CEO, DigitalKap – Haiti Click here to visit their site

Patrick was born and raised in Haiti and later went to the U.S. to study computer science at James Madison University. Patrick entered the workforce in 2011 after graduating college, but he always knew that he wanted to start his own business and also be part of Haiti’s positive change and growth. While working, Patrick simultaneously launched his technology company in Haiti, DigitalKap. After completing many computer lab installations Patrick observed the deep need for solar energy, particularly in conjunction with technology. Patrick committed himself to becoming an expert in solar energy, receiving specialized training in the field and developing an immense portfolio of solar energy clients and projects, including international church partners and organizations. Over the last 13 years, under the leadership and vision of Patrick, DigitalKap has grown to be a leading, powerful force for solar energy in Haiti.
If you are unable to join us live, the Zoom will be recorded and shared.

On Thursday, April 25th at 7:30, our guest for our Zoom Gathering will be Father Joseph Philippe, CSSP. Father Joseph has been a visionary leader in the struggle to eradicate poverty in Haiti. He has been the founder of four ground-breaking organizations over many years: 1988 – the Peasant Association of Fondwa, whose mission is to empower the local grassroots organizations to create wealth in communities; 1994 – Fondasyon Kole Zepól (Fonkoze Bank) to give economic power to the “organized poor” in rural Haiti and to bring financial inclusion and development services throughout rural communities; 1996 – the Congregation of Sisters of Antoine of Fondwa (Fondwa Sisters), who operate the Fondwa Orphanage, a K-12 school in Fondwa, the Fondwa Clinic, the APF Guest Center and the APF Small Business; 2004 – University of Fonwa, Haiti’s first rural university and only university in Haiti offering a degree in veterinary medicine.

Father Joseph’s most recent endeavor is the Father Joseph Network, which is an umbrella organization bringing together all the entities he founded to make an even greater impact. Father’s presentation will focus on his work to form Local Development Committees (LDCs), which he believes is the real long-term solution for building a bright future for Haiti. He believes that our twin parishes in Haiti can form these committees and bring about the change needed to transform Haiti.
