Overview

Mission

The first purpose of the organization is to pursue the continuous evangelization and spiritual formation of the entire haitian immigrant population which is about one million strong in numbers.

What it reported doing in 2024

The apostolate conducts pilgrimages to holy sites including the national shrine of the immaculate conception in Washington, dc. It also sponsors a pilgrimage to the holy land or some european shrines like those in france, spain or italy.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
