It was Haiti's turn to motion to us. In this, one of the poorest countries in the world, 
the children, the youth and the families, the sick, the dispossessed, all need to experience God's tender love and to find themselves respected in their search for autonomy and freedom.
1967: In September of that year, six Sisters of Charity responded to the call and began their ministry in a parish in Port-au-Prince, the Haitian capital. In a deprived and over-populated sector of the city, they began social service and catechesis. At the same 
time, they responded to a need in the Diocese of Gonaïves. In Dessalines, they opened a primary school (later they would add a girls' vocational school), a clinic, and took up parish pastoral work.
1981: Beginning in September, the sisters brought these same services to Ennery.
1995: In September, some sisters were back in Port-au-Prince at St. Martial College to work with the Spiritan Fathers. One of the sisters was director of the Kindergarten. Depending on the needs, others have taken responsibility for the secretariat of the Conference for Religious, or the care of the sick through an Archdiocesan organization, or done social work.
21st century: We continue our presence in health care, as we welcome the sick in our clinics or help in the formation of nurses. We continue our mission in education in our primary school, as well as through evangelization and youth ministry, through catechesis, basic communities, and social service. With the people of Haiti, we stand firm "hoping against hope" that one day the light will shine once again.
