Our sister parish is St. Peter Claver in Punta Gorda, Belize, a Jesuit parish.
SFX provides support primarily through our fair trade program. The proceeds from our twice monthly fair trade sales benefit St. Peter Claver. In spring each year, we also recruit parishioners to support St. Peter Claver’s high school scholarship program. Sponsors agree to fund four years of high school education for a student in Belize, as well as to support the student through letters and prayer.
Fair Trade
Parishioners organize and sell Fair Trade goods as a way to promote aligning some of our material purchases with our Christian values.
Fair Trade offers coffee, tea, chocolate, cards, and some textiles.
Proceeds go directly to the needs of our Sister Parish St. Peter Claver in Punta Gorda, Belize.
We sell on the first and third Sundays after the morning masses unless otherwise noted.
How to Support
Volunteer to help with regular Sunday sales (monthly or bi-monthly opportunities available)
Volunteer with the Fair Trade/Sister Parish committee (monthly meetings)
