The Parish Twinning Program has been shipping humanitarian goods to Haiti since 1994.  Millions of dollars in medicines, medical supplies and equipment, generators, solar panels, food, school supplies, motorcycles and much more have been donated or purchased.  The shipment has originated since 2002 out of Lavergne, Tennessee.  National Coordinator Pat Rehovsky from St. Ignatius Church in Antioch, Tennessee has volunteered untold hours in overseeing the organization and shipping of the containers.  Some 75 churches, organizations and other groups participate in each shipment, while approximately the same number of parishes and projects in Haiti are the recipients of the goods.

Current shipments of four to five 40’ containers are sent generally in the spring.  A collection period will take place over a two-week period and the third week is used for loading the containers.  Hundreds of parishes, communities and projects in Haiti have benefited from the dedicated work of Pat Rehovsky and his volunteers.
