SAVE THE DATE

A Simple Request with Great Results In 1997, Saint Cecilia parishioner Jan Kaiser invited St. Joseph parishioners, including Dr. Maureen Murphy, to join a mission trip to Haiti. This parish twinning led to the formation of Haiti Medical Mission of Wisconsin (HMMW) and its partnering relationship with Thiotte. That request, together with steadfast parish support, has resulted in direct health care for 50,000 people in remote southeast Haiti from Haitian staff and HMMW volunteers. Collectively, they established the Centre de Sante Sacre-Coeur de Thiotte (CSST) clinic and hospital as a year round regional medical hub. Area Haitians have daily access to preventative, primary, maternal, and pediatric care, plus health care education provided by Haitian doctors, nurses and health care staff.

A note from Fr. Guy Belange: “Good day dear Benefactors; The Parish and I thank you for your generosity. I have just celebrated this year the silver anniversary of the parish thanks to you who have supported us for nearly 25 years. The parish is very grateful to you. A big thank you to all the supporters of the Parish of Saint Cecilia and Saint Joseph. May God in His great goodness never cease to fill you with His many graces.”
