Welcome to the St. Monica-St. George Parish Newman Center Jamaica twinning website. In 2004, our parish entered into a twinning relationship with St. Joseph's Parish and its missions in Jamaica.  Fr. Joe Hund, O.F.M., pictured at left, stands outside St. Joseph's in Savanna-la-Mar where he has served as pastor since October 2003. (Photo courtesy Fr. Jack Wintz, O.F.M.)

What is Twinning? By definition, "Twinning is an active, mutual, on-going joy filled commitment between two faith communities. Twinning involves developing a friendship as well as a working relationship. The hope is that the relationship would not become exclusive, but a stepping stone to solidarity and greater exchange in the worldwide mission of Jesus." (Cincinnati Archdiocese, Mission Office).

There are many opportunities for involvement in this parish ministry. Some of these are communications, travel, cultural awareness, prayer and the pen-pal program.  Contact the parish office for more information at (513) 381-6400.

Here you will find the latest news about our brothers and sisters in Jamaica. We hope you enjoy your visit and encourage you to check back often for updates!
