Since 2004, St. Thomas Aquinas and Holy Comforter Parishes in Charlottesville have provided assistance for the planning, building and operations of a new St. Michel Catholic school in Saltadère, Haiti. The new school was dedicated in February 2007, but the need for assistance persists as nearly 500 students are now educated, fed and cared for there each day.  Individuals from both parishes as well as students and faculty from the University of Virginia regularly travel to Saltadère and they can speak with great authority about the clear human needs and ongoing good works at St. Michel.  Please do not hesitate to contact Professor Kate Burke or the Haiti Ministry Committee (This email address is being protected from spambots.
