Decostiere
Fr. Nesly, a highly respected and dedicated pastor is looking for an energized community willing to twin with his parish and associated chapels. The parish of Decostiere is located between Goniaves and Gros-Morne in the Artibonite region of Haiti. Projects including a primary school, medical clinic and small tree farm are supported enthusiastically by the surrounding community and parishoners. An attitude of service, cooperation, hard work and extrordinary faith continues to be demonstrated by this small town and amazing leadership. If your parish would be interested in forming a relationship with this community, contact yourhaitianvoice@gmail.com for more detailed information.
Read a letter from Fr. Nesly.
