Education:
Your donations pay for St. Joseph’s primary/ secondary school building, teacher salaries, and scholarships to post-secondary school and university studies.

 Health:
Your donations pay for medicinal supplies for the Carcasse Health Clinic (staffed by a full time nurse) and periodic medical missions (doctors brought in to treat maladies beyond the capacity of the nurse to treat).

Parish Support:
Your donations pay for the St. Joseph’s rectory building, upkeep, staff salaries, and humanitarian relief after natural disasters (most recently Hurricane Matthew, 2014 and the earthquake, 2021).

New Projects:
Your donations pay for construction of the new St. Joseph’s Church to replace the one destroyed by Hurricane Matthew. The new church is being constructed with light gauge galvanized steel covered with high strength structural stucco rated to withstand winds of 200 mph. This steel framing technology is also earthquake resistant as there are no concrete walls or roof to collapse.
