• • Poggy is located in a mountainous area of south central Haiti west of Miragoane.
  • St. Jacques le Majeur has only been a parish since 2011 so its needs are quite basic (church and school construction, meals for students, salaries for teachers, a vehicle to allow pastoral visits to remote chapels served by the parish, etc.)
  • The pastor of St. Jacques is Fr Aniel Ulysse
  • The population served by St. Jacques is 10,000.
  • St. Jacques includes four chapels which serve the needs of parishioners who are unable to travel to Poggy. Fr. Ulysse must travel periodically to those chapels to say mass and confer the sacraments.
