Our parish is composed of people different
nationalities, cultures and languages. In fact
here in Turks and Caicos Islands virtually
all Catholics
are from other countries: England, Ireland,
Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Philippines,
Canada, United States, Peru, Costa Rica, Mexico,
Colombia, Panama, Haiti, Dominican Republic
and India.
Three times a year, when the whole parish
comes together to celebrate Christmas Midnight
Mass, the Easter Vigil and Our Lady of Divine
Providence Parish Feast, the liturgy is held
in all three languages which mostly represent
our parish family: English, Creole (Haitian
language) and Spanish.

Presently we do not have much meeting space where to hold our parish activities. We are looking forward to the building of a new Church on our parish site and all contributions are most welcome. We do make the best use of what little space we have: Our little chapel that sits over 75 people, the Sacristy behind the church and the living room in the Rectory. Thanks to some generous benefactors we have recently extended the capacity of our little chapel from 75 to 150 people. We are in the process of finishing a small sacristy and we have also enlarged the small meeting room behind the church. We use the rectory living room for catechism classes on Saturdays due to the shortage of space.

I hope you will enjoy visiting our web site but even more I hope we shall have the pleasure and honor of meeting you personally at one of our liturgies.

With best wishes to you and your family,

Fr. Peter Baldacchino,
Pastor and Chancellor |
