Donations for Haiti can be made in several different ways:

Money - The annual income for the average Haitian is $360.00 (USD).  Your monetary donations go a long way in Haiti to buy medical supplies, food, education supplies, clean water, and many of the very basic necessities for life that we take for granted here in the United States.  The money also goes to help fund capital projects like church and school building and renovation, clinic/hospital building and support, education projects,  

Please send your tax-deductible donation (checks should be made payable to "St. Mary Cathedral," no matter how big or how small, to:

Haiti Ministry - The Cathedral of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception
