How to Twin.
Since its founding in 1978, PTPA has grown to become the largest, most significant organization of its kind.
Through seeing and touching poverty, U.S. parishes have experienced not only the physical needs, but also the humility, dignity, joy, patience and love of the people themselves and a new awareness of the breadth of the Catholic Church and its mission throughout the world.

Bishop Mark Spalding of the Diocese of Nashville believes in the importance of the mission of PTPA

During the 2022 PTPA National Conference in Nashville, Bishop Spalding spoke from the heart about the profound impact PTPA has had on the Catholic Church in Haiti and Latin America.
“Much as the German industrialist Oskar Schindler, depicted in the movie ‘Schindler’s List’, saved more than a thousand Jewish refugees from the Holocaust, your organization (PTPA) is helping US parishes save poor parishes in Haiti and Latin America by providing the funding that allows them to simply exist. The list of Haitian parishes helped, like the list in the movie, is an ‘absolute good’.
Please know of my continued prayers and support for your mission.”
