Our Parish Council has been investigating the possibility of sharing our faith, promoting social justice, integrating global concerns, and developing personal friendships with another parish or mission. After much consideration over a long period of time, it was decided to “Twin” with the Passionist Mission in Jamaica. Jamaica is easily accessible, and Jamaicans speak English. The Passionists and our parish have had a long standing relationship. We attend the St. Ann’s Novena, participate in retreats at St. Gabriel’s, and the Passionist priests assist us by celebrating Sunday Masses in our parish, Father Jack Connor, a Passionist priest served our parish full time for two years as assistant pastor (1998-2000). The twinning program will give our parish the opportunity to become involved in the Jamaica parishes, schools, Mandeville College, Mt. Calvary Retreat Center, and the Manchester Infirmary. There are also some seminarians studying in the USA. There will be a wide variety of possibilities for all our parishioners to participate in this venture, from praying for the people in Jamaica to hands on assistance. In twinning with the Jamaica Mission, we will not be trying to change others, or impose our way of life. Twinning is an invitation to live our lives and faith in the spirit of global solidarity. We will build lasting relationships and share faith.
