• immersions trips/service projects in Le Borgne, Haiti that are a joint effort of the Province, Iona Prep and Archbishop McCarthy H. S. in Ft, Lauderdale, FL
• the selling of Haitian art at Iona College to raise funds that will assist the ministries (6 schools, a mobile health clinic and an orphanage) of the Sisters of Jesus and Mary in Jean Rabel, Haiti
• collaboration with a Bergen Catholic alum who is part of a venture to build a school in Hinche, Haiti through an organization called – Center for Hope in Haiti (COHH).
