Mission Statement - "To build solidarity with God's poor in the Third World through a sister-parish relationship. No matter the religious affiliation, no matter the personal history, age, or race, the Jamaica Outreach Program pledges to support the outreach ministries of St. Pius X, Kingston, Jamaica; being the hands of God through donations of funds, material goods, and professional services."

Sponsored through the St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Parish, in Naples, Florida, the Jamaica Outreach Program assists the poor in Kingston, Jamaica through a variety of medically related services. The project was initiated in 1997, and since that time St. John parishioners and friends generously have donated their time, skills and funds necessary to support this program that provides for the medical, educational and spiritual needs of the Kingston community.

The parishioners work with St. Pius X parish, which serves 15,000 to 20,000 indigent people in the Olympic Gardens area of west Kingston. The All Care Medical Clinic at St.Pius X provides medical, dental, and eye care, plus all the medicines, supplies, and eye glasses are supplied free. The clinic has two Jamaican doctors who see patients four days a week. They provide basic medical and minor surgical care to all the people who utilize the clinic from the neighborhood, regardless of their race, gender, creed, or church affiliation.

There's plenty for everyone to do on each trip. The eye clinic needs more optometrists and ophthalmologist volunteers, as does the dental clinic need dentists and hygienists. The medical clinic can always use GP's, Internists, and Pediatricians. We are looking for more medical volunteers, nurses, doctors, dentists, etc.
