Covenant of Twin Parishes

Saint Gabriel and Sacred Heart
 

Joint Vision Statement

God has called both Sacred Heart and Saint Gabriel parishes to a unique relationship based on spirituality, solidarity, and partnership. We accompany one another with respect, dignity, and deep listening, towards a fuller love, compassion, and healing. By getting to know one another, we become one in Jesus Christ.

  1. Relationships are developed through regular and reciprocal visits and communication to share our support and care of one another. To learn each other’s language and culture.
  2. Promotion of twinning in both parishes with bulletin notes, announcements, banner, celebrating both Feast Days.
  3. Faith is increased by sharing the Eucharist, participating at daily Mass, praying together and for one another, faith reflections
  4. Equal and Mutual Partnership is developed through deep listening and respect of both partners
  5. Assessing the success of the mission based on whether the capacity of the partner to lead their own future development has been enhanced, and not on how many projects were completed.
  6. Promote Transparency and Accountability Share our financial resources through collaboration on monthly and annual financial and progress reports

Sacred Heart Pilgrimage To St. Gabriel

The Haiti Twinning Ministry (HTM) leads pilgrimages to our twin parish St. Gabriel twice a year for growth in spiritual life and developing partnership through relationship. All parishioners are invited. The pilgrimage starts with a blessing by Fr. Paul Muyimbwa at Sacred Heart Church, the Sunday before the journey and a blessing from Fr. Ady Mytial before returning home; this to help the pilgrims to stay on the path that leads to God and for His protection. Also members of the HTM and of Sacred Heart keep a vigil while the pilgrims are away. They keep awake in their prayers for the conversion of pilgrims and for their safety.

Centre (Haitian Creole: Sant) is one of the ten departments (French: départements) of Haiti, located in the center of the country, along the border with the Dominican Republic. It has an area of 3,675 km² and a population of 564,200 (2002). Its capital is Hinche. It borders the Dominican Republic to the east. It is the only landlocked department of Haiti. It also contains the second largest lake in Haiti Lake Peligre, which was created as a result of the construction of the Peligre Hydroelectric Dam on the Artibonite river during the 1950’s.
