News from the Caribbean

One year ago the English Province opened a new mission in Jamaica, taking on St. Thomas Aquinas parish in Papine, Kingston, in addition to our house at Roxborough, Grenada.

The parish was originally built and served by the Boston Jesuits. Fr Clifton Harris is the parish priest, and our brothers also serve other churches including Christ the King in Augustown. St. Thomas’s is close to the University, and Fr Irenaeus is chaplain to the University of the West Indies, Mona, and UTech. UWI draws students from across the Caribbean. This new venture provides a platform for further ministry, and already the archbishop has asked English Province friars to teach in his new seminary.

Donations from the UK are essential for sustaining our mission in the Caribbean. Please help if you can.
