Golden Jubilee Celebration 1954 - 2004

Saturday October 30th, 2004

	Fifty years ago this month, 6 Irish Spiritan priests came to Canada to set up a mission band here. Happily, two of the original six (Frs. Bob Hudson and Garry McCarthy) are still with us and were present at our Jubilee celebrations. Nearly 1,000 friends and supporters of the Spiritans turned out at the Hilton Suites in Markham, Ontario to celebrate with the Spiritans and raise money for Haiti.

Project in Haiti 100% of the proceeds of the Spiritan Jubilee Auction are to go to a special Spiritan charity to give young Haitians, who could not otherwise afford it, an opportunity to go to High School. The Spiritans have a long history in this troubled island. We own and run College Saint-Martial in Port au Prince and wish to offer secondary education bursaries to students of poor families from the slums of that teeming city.
