Thank You for Igniting Hearts at the 2025 PTPA National Conference
PTPA extends its heartfelt gratitude to everyone who made our 2025 National Conference, Hearts on Fire, an unforgettable and spirit-filled gathering.
Hosted at the Diocese of Nashville Catholic Pastoral Center, this three-day event brought together 150 passionate attendees whose dedication to parish twinning continues to transform lives across Haiti, Latin America, and the United States.
As many participants shared, their hearts truly were on fire as they departed; renewed in faith, inspired by community, and committed to deeper solidarity.
Conference Highlights:
- Twin parish representatives from 10 dioceses across Haiti
- Delegates from Latin American twin parishes, including Mexico, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Cuba, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua
- Distinguished speakers who graced us with their wisdom and presence:
- His Eminence Cardinal Chibly Langlois of Haiti
- Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami
- Bishop Jacques Fabre-Jeune of the Diocese of Charleston
- 9 additional Catholic clergy who enriched our time together with their spiritual leadership
From powerful keynote sessions to moving liturgies, the conference was a testament to the strength of our shared mission. We are especially grateful to our speakers and clergy whose presence reminded us of the sacred responsibility we carry in walking alongside our brothers and sisters in faith.
Thank you to every participant, volunteer, and supporter who helped make Hearts on Fire a beacon of hope and renewal. We look forward to continuing this journey with you; united in love, service, and the transformative power of parish twinning.
With gratitude and blessings,
